Answer to Question 1

Axial comes from axis (turning point). The 20th century philosopher Karl Jaspers called the period around 500 B.C. the turning point of civilization because so many astonishing advances in human consciousness occurred at this time in many parts of the world.
- Confucius, Lao-tse and others in China; the Upanishads and Buddha in India; Zarathustra in Iran; the Hebrew prophets Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Deutero-Isaiah; Homer, Plato, Heraclitus, Parmenides, and the great tragedians in Greece.
