Aristotle
Golden Age, Philosophy, and Sophists
In ancient Greece, a "golden age" lasted from 500 B.C.E. to 350 B.C.E, in which art, architecture, and literature flourished. Basic needs were being met easily, allowing people to dedicate themselves to the art of "philosophy". Philosophy translates as "love of wisdom".
Many philosophers were known as the Sophists. They traveled from polis to polis, earning a living teaching (sounds crazy, I know). Sophists were known for teaching rhetoric, or the art of public speaking and debate.
Sophists were known for not believing the gods influenced human actions, not believing any way of life was right or wrong, and eventually came to be disliked for teaching people how to debate, rather than focusing on the truth.
