Number two and three, of course, you cannot escape.
You cannot escape, probably, you know this picture.
It's named School of Athens.
It was painted by Raphael during the Rennaissance.
It's somewhere in, in the home, you can see painting.
It's like a set of I think, 30 philosophers, but in the
middle of the picture, you have two key people maybe you know, maybe you don't.
One is Plato and the second one is Aristotle.
Plato is like this, with his finger pointing to the e, sky
because he was convinced ideals exist somewhere in the realm of ideas.
Aristotle was his student and disagreed with Plato.
And for Aristotle, he show the ground to say no, no, no, no.
Idea's are imbedded in the world.
So Plato, Aristotle, the two next guys.
Of course, you cannot escape them.
I think Whitehead, the English philosopher, once said the entire
history of philosophy are just footnotes to Plato's work.
This is probably a bit exaggerated, but somehow, somehow it's true.
So we have definitely Plato and Aristotle as
two, as number two and number three guide.
Number four, I name it, Newton.
Newton a bit strange because it's not a philosopher, but it's not a coincidence.
I think we shouldn't be prisoner of philosophy.
Newton is a scientist, a genius, of course, and but
I need, and we need him also as a guide.
One of the, one the goal of this lecture
is to show that you don't have discipline completely separated.
Everything is connected so it's good to
have a non philosopher among the six guides.
Number five, Leibnitz.
Leibnitz.
Why Leibnitz, we will see that later.
He's a scientist and a philosopher.
So he has definitely more.
He may be on the guide as well.
Number six, probably you don't know him.
