(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Easy of History

During the Classical Period of Ancient Greece, there was an artistic, cultural, and intellectual flourishing that deeply impacted society and Western thought. This period of refinement culminated in the rule of Pericles, and Athenian culture emerged as a milestone of civilization. On the other hand, with the expansion of Alexander the Great, the Hellenistic period began, characterized by the spread of Greek culture in vast areas of the known world. In 'The History of Philosophy,' the philosopher and historian of philosophy Frederick Copleston highlights: 'Greek philosophy is the most impressive manifestation of what can be called, in a broad sense, Greek rationalism.' (COPLESTON, Frederick, 1946). Based on this context and the author's quote, answer: (1) How did Greek philosophy, particularly during the Classical Period and Hellenism, reflect this 'Greek rationalism' and what impact did it have on the development of other areas of knowledge and on social and political organization? (2) In what ways does the legacy of Greek philosophy still resonate in the contemporary world, especially in the fields of ethics and politics?
