Aristocles & Aristotle

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 hour ago

One of the two was sold as a slave.

In undergrad philosophy, most exams are simply headshots of famous philosophers that the students have to identify. In post-graduate studies, they use the picture of Nietzsche when he's shaved.

If anyone's curious, Aristotle was Plato's student, so Aristotle is the younger of the two men, and Plato is the older one.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Can't tell if serious or joking...

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

Oh fuck I'm confusing Socrates and Aristotle! I'm going to go read dialectics in shame.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Plato is the older one

Found Plato.

I think that's a plucked chicken.

[–] cardboardchris@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I'm pretty sure that's right

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 25 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Look at Plato carrying that book like he didn't make a good living "teaching the controversy" about writing. Just asking questions mfer.

[–] phar@lemmy.world 15 points 9 hours ago

Aristotle would be the younger one. But you probably knew that. Hard to tell. Good job sir.

[–] restingOface@quokk.au 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's like, who died and left Aristotle in charge of ethics?

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Plato is the one with very close relationships to a bunch of young boys.

Aristotle is the one who enjoyed femdom.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Femdom, but from a man pretending to be a woman. Everyone knows there were no women in Greece!

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 hours ago

Did I stutter?

Proper femdom, she rode him like a horse and whipped him. We even know her name-Phyllis.

[–] 5ha99y@lemmus.org 1 points 4 hours ago

The main characters of the series. We are all just post main arc.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

Behold, Plato!

[–] Ariselas@piefed.ca 14 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, while Plato they say could stick it away, half a crate of whiskey every day.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip -1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Whiskey was invented in the 15th century...

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago

It's a reference to the philosophers song by Monty Python.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago

The mnemonic I learned in school was SPA: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle

So yeah Aristotle is the younger dude simping hardcore for his mentor in the red garb (but really most likely used Plato as a projection canvas for his own ideas in writing)

[–] red_tomato@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

One is thinking about the sky. The other is thinking about the ground.

[–] 20cello@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Aristotle is the bearded one

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

Sorry for my stupidity, but I just want to be absolutely sure...

Is he the one with his toes out?

Ooh, so the one gesturing with his right hand, got it.
