Greek philosopher Socrates influence on his native land was immense. He was recognized for his work during his own lifetime which was uncommon. His work contributed a lot in the fields of ethics and logic. Socrates believed that living virtues life was more commendable than acquiring material wealth or being overly concerned with their families or political involvement.

Aristotle was a synoptic thinker with an over-arching theory that tied together all aspects and fields of philosophy. He elaborates a logic that is designed to describe what exists in the world. Ancient commentators regarded logic as a widely applicable method for careful thinking. They grouped Aristotles six logical treatises into a sort of manual they called the Organon (Greek for “tool”). The Organon included the categories, On Interpretation, the Prior Analytics, the Posterior Analytics, the Topics, and On Sophistical Refutations. These books touch on many issues: the logical structure of propositions, the proper structure of arguments (syllogisms), the difference between induction and deduction, the nature of scientific knowledge, basic fallacies (forms of specious reasoning), debating techniques, and so on. But we cannot confine our present investigations to the Organon. Aristotle comments on the principle of non-contradiction in the Metaphysics, on less rigorous forms of argument in the Rhetoric, on the intellectual virtues in the Nicomachean Ethics, on the difference between truth and falsity in On the Soul, and so on. We cannot overlook such important passages if we wish to gain an adequate understanding of Aristotelian logic. Newton invented a method that approached science systematically. His analytical method was a critical improvement upon the more abstract approach of …show more content…
Probably the biggest difference between the Greek and Christianity Gods is that the Greeks religion is polytheistic. They had a multitude of Gods which they worshipped, one for almost every aspect of life such as the goddess of wisdom Athena and Ares the god of war . Apart from the twelve Olympians there are a number of other gods and goddesses as well as mythical creatures.The Christian belief is that of Monotheistic. Christians believe in one God and the doctrine of the Trinity God existing in three persons, the Farther, Son and Holy Spirit who are never divided.
But when comparing Greek and Christian views on Godliness it becomes evident that the themes of of Greek mythology sees their divine also as powerful and eternal but also as being flawed and having the same vices as humans, that they argue and are easily angered. Also evident from the Greek accounts of the conflicts between their Gods the mortal humans are often treated unjustly and that they treat humans on merit. The Christian God however, is believed to be perfect in every way, not capable of acting unjust but always loving, caring and
