today we learned more about democracy and how in 503bc democracy was born. Socrates was a very important person in the making of democracy. also we got vocab words like polis which is greek for a body of citizens. In modern historiography, polis is normally used to indicate the ancient Greek city-states, like Classical Athens and its contemporaries, and thus is often translated as "city-state". also we learned about socrates a greek philosopher who created the scientific method, and we learned he was one of three major greek philosophers of Aristotle, Socrates and plato. Socrates was also know for laying the fundamentals of modern Western philosophy. He is known for creating Socratic irony and the Socratic method. also Socrates was called the father of western philosophy, also Socrates main contribution to Western philosophy is his method of inquiry that was called after him Socratic method, sometimes also known as elenchus. According to the latter, a statement can be considered true only if it cannot be proved wrong. Until my next human geo class see ya.
