After this philosophical golden age other systems appeared, like Cynicism, Stoicism, Epicureanism and Skepticism. Aristotle said that Thales was the first to consider the basic principles and the question of the originating substances of matter and, therefore, the founder of the school of natural philosophy. Greek philosophers were among the first in the West to explore nature in a rational way and to make educated guesses about the creation of the world and the universe. This is why Greece is often referred to as the birthplace of Western culture.

abstract	After this philosophical golden age other systems appeared, like Cynicism, Stoicism, Epicureanism and Skepticism. Aristotle said that Thales was the first to consider the basic principles and the question of the originating substances of matter and, therefore, the founder of the school of natural philosophy. Greek philosophers were among the first in the West to explore nature in a rational way and to make educated guesses about the creation of the world and the universe. This is why Greece is often referred to as the birthplace of Western culture. At the closing period of Greek philosophy Neoplatonism was founded by Plotinus of Lycopolis; its emphasis is a scientific philosophy of religion, in which the doctrine of Plato is fused with the most important elements in the Aristotelian and Stoic systems. Western culture is the heir of the Greek Philosophy that came to our society through the ideals and works of the Hellenistic philosophers, the medieval Muslim philosophers, the European Renaissance and the Enlightenment. Theophrastos (371 – c. 287 BC) was the first to writer about the Greek philosophy.
