Another edition of Filosophy Fridays, and another short 'n' sweet one for your afternoon.
Today's Daily Quota is a link to Raphael's Renaissance fresco The School of Athens or Scuola di Atene.
This one hangs on my wall, and is a real treat for any fans of Ancient Greek philosophy.
It's basically a tribute to all of the most prominent philosophers of the ancient Western world. All your favourites are there; Socrates, Epicurus, Diogenes, Pythagoras, and Plato and Aristotle leading the charge as the central figures.
Nothing special, no underlying meaning or motif, just a nice tribute to the 'best of' philosophers of that period.
Get to know their faces, so that you can appear half-witted in the eyes of womenfolk.
Here is an accompanying guide to each individual philosopher.
