E. The contribution of pre-Socratic philosophers takes the form of robust skeptical challenges to customarybeliefs. Socrates, too, examines these beliefs but also the challenges. In the process, he shifts philosophicalattention from the cosmos to the human condition itself. He will argue that each of us not only fails to bethe measure of all things, but we are generally very poor in our understanding of our very selves.Recommended Reading:Barnes, J., ed. Early Greek Philosophy. Penguin Books, 1987.Hussey, E. The Presocratic Philosophers. Cambridge University Press, 1983.Questions to Consider:1. Conclude whether there are similarities between the effects of skeptical philosophy on attitudes in ancientGreece and the effects of modern science on contemporary attitudes.2. Given that nearly universal human customs (nomoi) are taken, therefore, to be “natural,” explain howexceptions can be dealt with.3. Give examples of nearly universal customs that are brought about by essentially local conditions.©2004 The Teaching Company Limited Partnership 11
