Table 2009 Greek Ideal Questions on Homer and Herodotus The Emergence of Athens: The Persian Wars: The Test
of Greek Democracy Historiē: “research” or “inquiry”; To Herodotus’ audience, the term would have had a vaguely clinical air, coming, as it did, from the vocabulary of the newborn field of natural science. (Herodotus was born in Ionia.) Prior to Herodotus, people conceived of their ‘story’ in epic terms, ie a poem recounting the exploits of a hero, like Achilles in The Iliad.

Table 2009 "Men do not rest content with parrying the attacks of a superior, but often strike the first blow to prevent the attack being made. And we cannot fix the exact point at which our empire shall stop; we have reached a position in which we must not be content with retaining but must scheme to extend it, for, if we cease to rule others, we are in danger of being ruled ourselves. Nor can you look at inaction from the same point of view as others, unless you are prepared to change your habits and make them like theirs."

Mid-Year Exam
(Exam
Locations) Enlightenment is man's
leaving his self-caused immaturity. Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's
intelligence without the guidance of another. Such immaturity is self-caused
if it is not caused by lack of intelligence, but by lack of determination and
courage to use one's intelligence without being guided by another. Sapere
Aude! [Dare to know!] Have the courage to use your own intelligence! is
therefore the motto of the Enlightenment.
From Kant,
"What

To this I answer, in one word, from EXPERIENCE. John Locke, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690) Philosophical Implications of the New Cosmology: - Newton and Deism; Homework: Rev. Charles Davy: "The Earthquake
at Lisbon" (1755) Everyone should read the introduction. Then prepare a report with a partner on one of the following responses to the disaster:
