detail from the School of Athens

    Caption: A detail of "The School of Athens" (1509) by Raphael (1483--1520) showing Plato (428/427--348/347 BCE) on the left and Aristotle (384--322 BCE) on the right.

    The discord between idealism and empiricism. Just following a herd, yours truly thinks we need both.

    The model for Plato may have been Leonardo da Vinci (1452--1519)---if he was it, it may have involuntarily.
