Using Ancient Greek Philosophy flashcards

The flashcards on this page cover thinkers, texts and ideas from the unit. The key terms decks on Plato and Aristotle are a useful starting point if you want to practise vocabulary: they include the Forms, knowledge, causes and potentiality. The Socrates deck offers questions about his approach and the people around him.

For closer work on texts, Apology asks about the accusations against Socrates and his defence. Parmenides and Phaedo includes questions on the theory of Forms and Parmenides’ criticism of it.

Make recall part of revision

Work through a few cards, then return to the questions you found difficult. Try explaining an answer in your own words before checking it. If you need a broader view of a topic, switch to a mind map or note on the unit page; use a quiz when you want to practise questions in another format. Pick a set and see what you can recall.

Frequently asked questions

Which flashcard deck should I start with?

For vocabulary practice, start with the key terms deck on Plato or the one on Aristotle. The Plato deck includes the Forms and knowledge, while the Aristotle deck includes causes and potentiality. If you prefer questions about a person, the Socrates deck is another place to begin.

What do the flashcards cover?

The decks range from key terms to questions on particular texts. For example, Republic Questions includes a question about Thrasymachus’ argument for his definition of justice. Charmides asks about definitions of sophrosune, while Symposium includes questions about eros and Diotima’s speech.

Are these flashcards free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open and study without an account. The decks were made by GoConqr users, rather than by GoConqr. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own flashcards, quizzes, mind maps and notes.
