Re: Who do you think the greatest intellectual figures, Aristotle or Socrates?
I have chosen SOCRATES. I have not chosen him for philosophycal reassons, as my knowledge about philosophy is not as good as to enter a deep debate, but just suficient to point out elementhal differences.
I chose Socrates for his attitude against death, or what is more important, because he proved to be a man that believed in principles and would stand for them even if that could cause him death. Aristoteles for the contrary, simply escaped to his mothers island.
You can be the most fantastic artist, philosopher, or what ever of the world, but if you fail to have principles you would not meet the minimun to be a proper MAN/WOMAN.
