Philosophy Matrix II: Ancient Quest for Truth Historical review of human knowledge shows, at least in part, an unsteady progression from myth to half-scientific, half-philosophical thoughts to philosophy, culminating in the teachings of Plato and Aristotle and beyond them in the teachings of Plotinus. Pre-Socratic Philosophers such as Pythagorus, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Melissus, Zeno and Anaxagoras rejected mythological explanations of life and beyond, choosing to explore the rational explanations about the "essence" of things. As a result, Pre-Socratic philosophers, posed questions, posited theories, borrowed from each other, expanded on each other's theories and often disagreed. This early Greek Philosophy continued to develop until it "flowered in the two great philosophies of Plato and Aristotle." Plato and Aristotle considered theories of Pre-Socratic philosophers and rejected, explained, synthesized and incorporated elements of those theories as they saw fit. Plato built on Pre-Socratic Philosophy's stress of the rational and moral by his expanded theories of knowledge in 4 steps along a divided line, his Doctrine of Forms, which were deemed an "enormous advance" on prior pre-Socratic theories, and his theory of morality that expanded prior thought to point to "an absolute moral code." Aristotle built on Pre-Socratic Philosophy by further synthesizing the Doctrine of Forms, developing his First Principle and Theory of Ethics, for several examples. In sum, the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle are deemed an early and highly significant culmination of human thought's progression from myth to philosophy.

This report compares and contrasts two literary works, those being by Welty and Frost. One is a short story (Welty) and the other is a poem (Frost).

The great monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam profoundly influenced Western philosophy. In all of these religions, the existence of God is a central claim. For nearly a millennium from 500 S.D to about 1500 A.D., Western philosophy was the handmaiden of Christian theology. (Jordan, 567) During this period, the issue of existence of God seemed to be of paramount importance. Proofs were needed to convince infidels and beretics and to retain the faithful. In the more secular world since the Renaissance, these arguments for the existence of God have been severely challenged.

Financial management of not-for-profits is comparable to financial management in the commercial sector in a lot of respects; but, certain key variations shift the focus of a not-for-profit financial manager.

A not-for-profit organization's main goal is not to augment shareholder value; rather it is to offer some socially attractive need on a continuing basis.
