At the time of the Hellenic world was learning the process as standard or maximum the divine world. Students were trained to be as wise and as brave as the gods. In Athens there was a curriculum that grew out of the poems of Homer and Hesiod called Arete. Trying to imitate the life of Zeus, being so wise and strong as him or imitate the value of Apollo was the self-imposed limit that society Athens to be considered educated. This attitude led them to develop ideas that have not yet been overcome. For example the concept of democracy, polytheism or monotheism recognized the power of a supreme God above all God or natural power, are the beginning of a monotheistic vision that had already manifested itself with roots in the Hebrew society.
The Arete was the first attempt to get the truth imitating the virtues of the gods, especially the virtue of wisdom. It is as if the concept we have today of what is to be holy, for it was tantamount to being wise. With this attitude the Greeks had developed pride in the wisdom and ran first through faith in God and doubt to investigate how the man of his natural intelligence. Socrates using the reflection method concluded that man is ignorant because they have forgotten God in their development process. He claimed that knowledge is obtained in the process of asking to remember the bond we have with the divine. He called this process
mayeutics
Another Athenian Plato thought that the ideas came from a divine world and these ideas came into the minds of humans to humans understood the world. The requirement for advent to this knowledge was the discipline of our minds, our spirit and our body. Just being disciplined We could hear the voice of the power of God Finally Aristotle gave an additional tool to the world with the establishment of contemplation as a way to find the truth and so be immortalized in history.
other hand, in Sparta the curriculum is known by the name of Agogo. This was based on the valor and courage in battle. The battle cry, "prepared for victory" was his philosophical maxim that forced discipline, endurance, develop a love for country and pride in their origin. In Puerto Rico we must remember these curricula to develop a country like Athens and Sparta in its wisdom in value. I promise to speak this in my next article.
