Ancient Greek philosophy originated in 6th century BC. It was prominent during the Hellenistic period, as well as the period when Greece was ruled by the Roman Empire. Greek philosophy is used to answer the fundamental questions regarding human existence, values, reason, mind, language, and knowledge. Methods include critical discussion, systematic presentation, questioning, and rational argument. Ancient Greek philosophy had an influence in a variety of subjects, including mathematics, ethics, ontology, astronomy, metaphysics, logic, rhetoric, biology, aesthetics, and political philosophy.
