Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(5 pp) The philosophy in classical Greece which
influenced three dimensional art forms of the
period, could be summed up in the words of
Protagoras: man is the measure of all things.
This combined with other philosophers' emphasis on
rational inquiry, and challenging the status quo,
created a society of intellectual and artistic
risk takers. Just as man's dignity and worth were
central Greek concepts, the human figure was the
principal motif in Greek art and architecture, in
both, it reflected a similar respect for balance.

the cella and their columns on the outside, where they could articulate exterior space. Perhaps for the first time, the overriding concern is for the building seen as a beautiful
object externally, while at the same time containing precious and sacred inner space. This illustrates the philosophical approach of striving for the ideal. Greek architects have been praised
