In the second millenium bce, in the Rig-Veda it was maintained the Earth was a globe and in the Yajur-Veda that the Earth circled the Sun.
About 510 bce, Almaeon of Crotona, a member of the Pythagorean medical circle, located the seat of perception in the brain, or enkephalos, and maintained that there were passages connecting the senses to the brain, a position he was said to have arrived at by dissections of the optic nerve.
By about 335 bce, Aristotle had said that universals are abstractions from particulars and that we "have knowledge of a scientific fact when we can prove that it could not be otherwise." But "since observation never shows whether this is the case," he established "reason rather observation at the center of scientific effort" (Park 1990:32).

Years later (in 776 BCE), the Greek hero, Heracles, was credited with the foundation of the Olympic Games — he made a clearing in the grove at Olympia, laid out the boundaries of the Altis, the sacred olive grove there, and organised the first Games in honour of Zeus.
The original stadium was replaced in 350 BCE with a new stadium, with a 192 m long track (600 "Olympic" feet, called a "stade", from which our word "stadium" comes) and which incorporated seating for 20,000 people.
The drawings on the vases from the early 6th century BCE show the posing (called 'kordakizomai' by the ancient Greeks) of the dancers, who appear very proud of this naked part of their bodies and strut like peacocks; 'Kordax' is the name of the dance executed in this style.

Because of their independence from worldly concerns, they were critical of the rest of society and of conventional morality, somewhat akin to exponents of the skepticism that was arising around the same time.
Instrumentalism is the idea that concepts are merely useful instruments, and that the proper way to evalute concepts and propositions is not through the categories of truth and falsity but through judging their effectiveness; the view developed out of and is somewhat similar to pragmatism.
Often, in philosophy, 'Platonism' is virtually equivalent to idealism or intrinsicism, since Plato was the first Western philosopher to claim that reality is fundamentally something ideal or abstract and that knowledge largely consists of insight into or perception of the ideal.
