Why do Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle identify achieving wisdom as "becoming like gods"? How does godlike wisdom affect one's ethical choices? After reading several Greek tragedies (representing traditional Greek values), we examine the Greek philosophers' rejection of this tradition and their radically new ethical theories. The philosophers argued that we should imitate the gods, who are ethically perfect. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle offered different ethical theories, but they shared basic conceptions of goodness and happiness. Are their ethical philosophies operative in the modern day?
