RE: Knowledge is Power (6) - Who was Phytagoras?
I find it so intriguing that he may have been the first person to hypothesise that the earth could be containing a 'central fire'! What brings one to determine this?! Truly extraordinary. I'm also impressed by how he treated women and slaves. Not many people back then really needed to be careful with either.
Yes, I was amazed when I learned that. That is why Pythagoras is my favorite pre-Socrates philosopher. He was really ahead of his time. Stay tuned for more interesting facts on philosophy, I am tutoring an intro class and I will post some more, as I get to it.
