>>>Plato, Socrates and Aristotle would not have challenged the 97%.<<< >>>learn to draw a horse <<< I have studied philosophy much of my life and still do. It qualifies me as capable of drawing a horse. Piccaso was not suggesting no one could be an artist who looked at it differently than him. Quite to the contrary, his art was very unconventional at the time. Ever heard of heresy and sedition... that is what you are accusing me of. Have you read the Apology of Socrates? I recommend it. Are you REALLY willing to dismantle your excessive loyalties? No = no growth. SocratesThe trial of Socrates took place in 399 BC. Attended by the Ancient Greek philosophers Plato (who was a student of Socrates') and Xenophon, it resulted in the death of Socrates, who was sentenced to drink the poison hemlock. The trial is chronicled in the Platonic dialogues Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo. Giordano Bruno Giordano Bruno was a famous Italian philosopher and astronomer who was well known as a proponent of heliocentrism and the infinity of the universe. He held that the sun was one amongst an infinite number of stars. Due to his pantheism, heretical and controversial views, he was burned at the stake by the Roman Inquisition. [2] Tommaso Campanella Tommaso Campanella was confined to a convent for his heretical views, namely, an opposition to the authority of Aristotle. Later, he then spent twenty-seven years imprisoned in a castle during which he wrote his most famous works, including The City of the Sun. [3] Baruch Spinoza Baruch Spinoza, a Jewish philosopher, was excommunicated from the Nation of Israel for his pantheistic views of God and his claim that God is part of a deterministic system.
