- A pivotal detour in philosophy nearly a thousand years ago that significantly shaped Western society.
- The Big Three philosophers — Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates — and their unique approaches to achieving happiness.
- Intersections and conflicts between ancient philosophy and Christianity, highlighting areas of convergence.
- Influential ideologies such as dualism and pantheism, and their impact on modern politics and education.
- And much more...
