In Greek mythology, Tartarus is both a deity and a place in the underworld even lower than Hades. In ancient Orphic sources and in the mystery schools, Tartarus is also the unbounded first-existing entity from which the Light and the cosmos are born. It is a deep, gloomy place, a pit, or an abyss used as a dungeon of torment and suffering that resides beneath the underworld. In the Gorgias, Plato (c. 400 B.C.) wrote that souls were judged after death and those who received punishment were sent to Tartarus.

It depends upon what one means by 'philosophy.' The nature of philosophy is itself an issue. In terms of the original meaning of the word, a "philosopher" is a "lover of wisdom." Wisdom is what philosophers seek. Particularly in western philosophy, at least theoretical wisdom is generally thought to be gained by what Plato called the "dialectic," which is the give and take of argument. A philosopher is free to argue in favor of any thesis, but the thesis is worthless unless backed by evidence. As a result of practicing the dialectic, philosophers become very skilled at arguing for their theses and defending them against objections. Since these same skills are very valuable in a debate, practicing philosophy is able to improve one's skill in debates. What these skills are used for is a key difference. In a debate, the goal is to win the debate. Truth is irrelevant. In philosophy, the goal is to live wisely. Assuming that truth is necessary to live wisely, truth is important in philosophy. This is why Plato himself argued against the misuse of what he called "rhetoric" in such dialogues as GORGIAS. Unlike debates, philosophy isn't a game.

Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi (1743-1819), characterized rationalism, and in particular Immanuel Kant's "critical" philosophy in order to carry out a reductio ad absurdum according to which all rationalism (philosophy as criticism) reduces to nihilism, and thus it should be avoided and replaced with a return to some type of faith and revelation.
Richard Rorty, Kierkegaard, and Wittgenstein challenge the sense of questioning whether our particular concepts are related to the world in an appropriate way, whether we can justify our ways of describing the world as compared with other ways. In general, these philosophers argue that truth was not about getting it right or representing reality, but was part of a social practice and language was what served our purposes in a particular time; to this end Poststructuralism rejects any definitions that claim to have discovered absolute 'truths' or facts about the world.
PoliticalIt is not a trait of any political party to be pessimistic in and of itself. Conservative thinkers, especially social conservatives, often perceive politics in a generally pessimistic way. William F. Buckley famously remarked that he was "standing athwart history yelling 'stop!'" and Whittaker Chambers was convinced that capitalism was bound to fall to communism, though he was himself violently anti-communist. Social conservatives often see the West as a decadent and nihilistic civilization which has abandoned its roots in Christianity and/or Greek philosophy, leaving it doomed to fall into moral and political decay. Robert Bork's Slouching Toward Gommorah and Allan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind are famous expressions of this point of view.Many economic conservatives and right-libertarians believe that the expansion of the state and the role of government in society is inevitable, and they are at best fighting a holding action against it. They hold that the natural tendency of people is to be ruled and that freedom is an exceptional state of affairs which is now being abandoned in favor of social and economic security provided by the welfare state. Political pessimism has sometimes found expression in dystopian novels such as George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.[3] Political pessimism about one's country often correlates with a desire to emigrate.[4]
During the 2007-2012 global financial crisis in the United States, the neologism "pessimism porn" was coined to describe the alleged eschatological and survivalist thrill some people derive from predicting, reading and fantasizing about the collapse of civil society through the destruction of the world's economic system.[5][6][7][8]
EnvironmentalSome environmentalists believe that the ecology of the Earth has already been irretrievably damaged, and even an unrealistic shift in politics would not be enough to save it. According to this view, the mere existence of billions of humans overstresses the ecology of the planet, eventually leading to a Malthusian collapse. The collapse will reduce the ability of Earth to support large numbers of humans for a long time into the futur1 answer

There was a medieval tradition according to which the Greek philosopher Parmenides (5th century bc) invented logic while living on a rock in Egypt. The story is pure legend, but it does reflect the fact that Parmenides was the first philosopher to use an extended argument for his views, rather than merely proposing a vision of reality. But using arguments is not the same as studying them, and Parmenides never systematically formulated or studied principles of argumentation in their own right. Indeed, there is no evidence that he was even aware of the implicit rules of inference used in presenting his doctrine.
Perhaps Parmenides' use of argument was inspired by the practice of early Greek mathematics among the Pythagoreans. Thus it is significant that Parmenides is reported to have had a Pythagorean teacher. But the history of Pythagoreanism in this early period is shrouded in mystery, and it is hard to separate fact from legend.
If Parmenides was not aware of general rules underlying his arguments, the same perhaps is not true for his disciple Zeno of Elea (5th century bc). Zeno was the author of many arguments, known collectively as "Zeno's Paradoxes," purporting to infer impossible consequences from a non-Parmenidean view of things and so to refute such a view and indirectly to establish Parmenides' monist position. The logical strategy of establishing a claim by showing that its opposite leads to absurd consequences is known as reductio ad absurdum. The fact that Zeno's arguments were all of this form suggests that he recognized and reflected on the general pattern.
Other authors too contributed to a growing Greek interest in inference and proof. Early rhetoricians and sophists-e.g., Gorgias, Hippias, Prodicus, and Protagoras (all 5th-century bc)-cultivated the art of defending or attacking a thesis by means of argument. This concern for the techniques of argument on occasion merely led to verbal displays of debating skills, what Plato called "eristic." But it is also true that the sophists were instrumental in bringing argumentation to the central position it came uniquely to hold in Greek thought. The sophists were, for example, among the first people anywhere to demand that moral claims be justified by reasons.
Certain particular teachings of the sophists and rhetoricians are significant for the early history of logic. For example, Protagoras is reported to have been the first to distinguish different kinds of sentences: questions, answers, prayers, and injunctions. Prodicus appears to have maintained that no two words can mean exactly the same thing. Accordingly, he devoted much attention to carefully distinguishing and defining the meanings of apparent synonyms, including many ethical terms.
Socrates (c. 470-399 bc) is said to have attended Prodicus' lectures. Like Prodicus, he pursued the definitions of things, particularly in the realm of ethics and values. These investigations, conducted by means of debate and argument as portrayed in the writings of Plato (428/427-348/347 bc), reinforced Greek interest in argumentation and emphasized the importance of care and rigour in the use of language.
Plato continued the work begun by the sophists and by Socrates. In the Sophist, he distinguished affirmation from negation and made the important distinction between verbs and names (including both nouns and adjectives). He remarked that a complete statement (logos) cannot consist of either a name or a verb alone but requires at least one of each. This observation indicates that the analysis of language had developed to the point of investigating the internal structures of statements, in addition to the relations of statements as a whole to one another. This new development would be raised to a high art by Plato's pupil Aristotle (384-322 bc).
There are passages in Plato's writings where he suggests that the practice of argument in the form of dialogue (Platonic "dialectic") has a larger significance beyond its occasional use to investigate a particular problem. The suggestion is that dialectic is a science in its own right, or perhaps a general method for arriving at scientific conclusions in other fields. These seminal but inconclusive remarks indicate a new level of generality in Greek speculation about reasoning.
