ЛИКЕЙ

Lyceum

The name applied to the sacred garden adjoining the temple of Apollo near Athens and to the gymnasium erected there in the 5th century B.C. It was there in 335 B.C. that Aristotle founded his school of philosophy, which was to exist for nearly eight centuries. After Aristotle the Lyceum was taken over by his pupil Theophrastus. The most outstanding representatives of the school were Eudemus of Rhodes, Dicaearchus, and Strato. By the 1st century B.C., however, the Lyceum had ceased to be a creative centre of philosophy and was merely publishing and commenting on the works of Aristotle. With the collapse of the slave-owning system the Lyceum also ceased to exist.

Ликей

Лицей (греч. Lýkeion), древнегреческая философская школа близ Афин, основанная Аристотелем и существовавшая около 8 столетий (см. Перипатетическая школа). Своё название школа получила от храма Аполлона Ликейского, вблизи которого находилась гимназия, где преподавал Аристотель в последние годы своей жизни (335-323 до н. э.).
