Epicureanism
Hedonism
Eclecticism
Neo-Platonism
Skepticism

Sophism

Philosophers during Roman times:

Cicero (106-43 BC)
Lucretius (94-55 BC)
Seneca (4 BC - 65 AD)
Musonius Rufus (30 AD - 100 AD)
Plutarch (45-120 AD)
Epictetus (55-135 AD)
Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD)
Clement of Alexandria (150-215 AD)
Alcinous (2nd century AD)
Sextus Empiricus (3rd century AD)
Alexander of Aphrodisias (3rd century AD)
Ammonius Saccas (3rd century AD)
Plotinus (205-270 AD)
Porphyry (232-304 AD)
Iamblichus (242-327 AD)
Themistius (317-388 AD)
Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD)
Proclus (411-485 AD)
Philoponus of Alexandria (490-570 AD)
Damascius (462-540 AD)
Boethius (472-524 AD)
Simplicius of Cilicia (490-560 AD)

Why a sudden surge of questioning at this time: Why not before?Is any idea contagious?
Was there any direct E.T.involvement in these times concerning publicity and /or genetical enhancement to promote 'free thinking' and
did any idea,unique yet individual, specifically happen at these timeframes to shape 'modern thinking'?:Is knowledge a 'necessity to be recorded and handed down',or is it solely down to ego and socio-politcal forces to enforce a a highly intelligent 'agenda'?

Just a thought to have a drink and chat about.
