Digging into this beauty. I‘m also pleasantly surprised that it discusses some of the same philosophers in the third and fourth chapters of Sophie‘s World.

I have this as an ebook, but I feel like it will be so much more helpful as a physical book. I‘m going to read it along side Sophie‘s World to get a stronger/deeper understanding of each of the philosophers presented. This also brings in eastern philosophy, where Sofie‘s World doesn‘t. We shall see how it all works out. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Pythagoras is probably my favourite ancient philosopher. He was a bit of a nut, but he did like how math is in everything, so he put it into his philosophy.

Crazeedi It is in everything! The Universe is mathematical! Just an amazing truth 5y

GingerAntics @Crazeedi and to think he discovered this (and oddly thought it was divine intervention) in about 500BCE, and now we are finding this is entirely true. It‘s amazing, really. 5y

Crazeedi @GingerAntics yes, observation has discovered many things. And maybe there was some divine intervention. I read an article once about the symmetry of everything from the macro to the micro. I remember the author talking about things like spider webs, and leaves etc. It sent shivers through me when I really thought about it 5y

Crazeedi You can see the mathematical beauty everywhere if you take the time to look. Really think about how we do things harmoniously, without thinking even 5y

readinginthedark That is so awesome! It makes me think of this StoryBots episode about space that my son was watching, about how planets are made. It's amazing how logical and poetic it all is at the same time! 5y

GingerAntics @readinginthedark I think that‘s the best way to put it. Simultaneously logical and poetic. 5y

Too bad we‘ve stopped teaching people to think independently (even though factory work hasn‘t been the standard work place of the masses for generations), or America might actually be having a philosophical revolution right now as opposed to tearing apart at the seams.
