1. Greek Philosophy

Greek Philosophy and Rational Thought have had a major role in the everyday lives of today. This is shown because the way we interpret the origin of the world, where life came from, and life itself come from ideas laid down by Greek thinkers. Such as the fact that all things are made of atoms that was brought to attention by a Greek theorist by the name of Democritus. Greek Philosophy, such as the teachings of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle have influenced modern life greatly. The ideas the philosophers made about the ideal human, human behavior, and the world are used as examples in our daily lives. Such as when Socrates stated that humans could be truthful and that having this honor was much greater than riches, fame, or fortune. The reason why this is first on my list is because of all things from the classical age, Greek Philosophy and Rational Thought have had the greatest impact on our ways of life and how we think.
