Man is the measure of all things

Protegola, the representative of the wise men in ancient Greek philosophy, believed that "man is the measure of all things", that is, the measure of things is the individual feeling of a single person. This proposition takes everything as excess and personal feeling as the scale, with obvious colors of subjectivism and relativism. It regards the existence and nature of things as the product of personal subjective feeling and negates their objectivity. However, it also has a certain positive significance, which makes human become the standard to measure existence, and can be regarded as the typical proposition in the history of western philosophy that emphasizes the subject's initiative, and has a certain role in criticizing the tradition and liberating the mind.

Virtue is knowledge

According to Socrates, the true master and cause of all things in nature is not the material origin, as claimed by natural philosophers, but its intrinsic purpose, that is, "good". Since it is beyond our power to know the nature of nature, the real object of philosophy is not nature but man himself, that is, to know the good in man himself, that is, to know the "virtue". Virtue is human nature, everyone has "virtue", but not in reality, but in potential. In other words, only under the guidance of reason people know their own virtue, can make it come true. Therefore, Socrates equates virtue with knowledge, and draws the conclusion that "knowledge is virtue, ignorance is evil" and "no one intentionally does evil", emphasizing that a life without reason and prudence is meaningless. However, he does not realize that knowledge is not a sufficient condition for virtue.

Ideology

Ideology is Plato's philosophical theory. By the Idea we mean the Class as indicated by a particular quality, which is the reality beyond the individual and which is the ground of its being. Things are individual, relative, and contingent; ideas are eternal; they are universal, absolute, and necessary. Plato's idea is the common phase of things, the basis of existence, the model of imitation and the goal of pursuit. Thus Plato makes a distinction between two worlds: the world of the sensible and the world of the idea. The world of things is the sensible object; the world of ideas is the knowable object. In order to solve the problem of understanding the idea, Plato put forward the theory of recollection and the theory of turning the soul. Plato's Ideology is the first systematic idealism system in the history of western philosophy, which has exerted an inestimable influence on western philosophy.
