Philosophers

Why is there so much suffering in the world? This would be a question asked by many philosophers. A philosopher is a person that seeks answers to difficult questions. In Greece the word philosopher means “love of wisdom”. The first philosophers came from Athens in Ancient Greece. When Athens lost to Sparta during the Peloponnesian War, many people were left clueless because they had never been through so much misery. After the war several great thinkers appeared; philosophers. Some of the philosophers from Athens were Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Protagoras. Some of these philosophers developed things we still use today, like Aristotle developed the scientific method.

What did the philosopher Aristotle develop that we still use today?
