The birthplace of Western philosophy

On World Philosophy Day, let's talk about Athens, the capital of Greece. The city symbolises the roots of Western civilisation and ancient Greek philosophy, which focused on critical thinking and questioning. The city's iconic Acropolis and Parthenon remind us of the brilliant minds of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, who started a revolution of rationale that is still shaping our society today. UNESCO recognises the profound impact philosophy has on human thought, cultures, and individuals via World Philosophy Day. Take time today to discover the depths of the 'love of wisdom'!
