Raphael's School of Athens was not implied as a school that really existed (I. e. Plato's Academy) however a perfect group of minds from the whole established world. To encourage this vision, Raphael made a roomy lobby that reviews the "sanctuaries raised by reasoning" composed by the Roman artist Lucretius. The painting illustrates a big group of students from the Ancient Greek (were good on Pythagoras) in the early Greek there were advance on technology and mathematics. In the painting the statutes of Apollo (god of the sun) and Athens (god of wisdom). During the painting shows how Plato and Aristotle having a conversation in the middle of the painting about the natural of the world (Aristotle) and spiritual world (Plato). Every section of the picture represents the area of philosophy and knowledge and every person have different robes and material invention. Aristotle and Plato have different perspective about certain things but they agree that happiness has to be obtain in life and happiness is everything in the world. There were four Pre-Socrates; Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes (were physical science) where, Heraclitus was involved on moral law. Thales found the Greek physical sciences, Anaximander argued the universe was flat, Anaximenes use of physical mechanism, and Heraclius moral and social law.

The Platonic school was very influential philosophy school with his students as Plato and Plato's Aristotle and Socrates known as "father" of Western philosophy he took what he knew and started to teach others. In the Greek Schools after Socrates were, (1) Skeptics, (2) Stoics, (3) Cynics, and (4) Epicureans. The Skeptics believe on "responding to all the schools with organized counter-arguments and reason" and he would have a lot of question is, how does the world work? What is objectively true? And how do I live well in that world? What is subjectively true? Skeptics being a person inclined to ask questions or doubt all accepted opinions. The Stoics believes on, "advanced response to the growing complexities of society, inspired by the Cynics and the Epicureans." He believes on self-control and the improvement of the individual's moral and ethics as equality and confront. The Cynics means, "ideas -very critical of society and very committed to living their lives by their principles." The Cynics focus on what is needed on life such as, wealth, power, possession, and fame and make sure we have in life what makes up happy. The 10 Skeptical Tropes were, (1) the subjectivity of animal perception, (2) the subjectivity of human perception, (3 the limitation of sensory organs, (4) the role of physical circumstance, (5) the role of environment on perception, (6) the role and limits of interaction and mixture, (7) the role and limitation of exposure, (8) the relative circumstances of interpretation, (9) the role of experience and familiarity in judgement, and (10) the role of society and culture.

Furthermore, Epicureans mean, "focused largely on how to be happy and how to live well" Epicureans method is pleasure is the absence of pain. Happiness has to be obtain in life and happiness is everything in the world. Epicures wrote, "The Epicureans Four-Fold Remedy" (1) god has no fear, (2) death hold no fear, (3) what is good is easy to get, and (4) what is bad can be endured and describes how to attain happiness. In other words, Greek philosophers believe happiness perception and always be happy, no worry about unnecessary things. Stoic motto, "If you can do something about it, why worry? If you can't do something about it, why worry? Life is short to be thinking about "worries". Both Stoics and Skeptics have different arguments on their belief. For example, Stoics, "reasoning matter" and Skeptics "doubting the world of appearances was more in line with platonic thought." At the end Skeptic won and both still remain friends.
