flatlander Edited: 20-Jan-07 Member Since: 12/15/2006 Posts: 63	e. kaye Richard Feynman is a good call. I don't know about about "most brilliant person ever," but there's no denying he led a pretty amazing life. I would highly recommend the book "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! (Adventures of a Curious Character)." It's a great book,and was actually fun to read. You have ignored this user.

asdf 4 Edited: 21-Jan-07 05:35 PM Member Since: 01/01/2001 Posts: 11001	Everybody who said Newton is correct, especially Alpo on page 1. Newton's work created 5 college courses: Physics I Calculus I, I, and III Classical Mechanics (only if you're a physics major) And those classes are the basis for all other science. Nobody else can say they had that impact. Though, you can't really argue with James Tiberius Kirk either. You have ignored this user.

Socrates preceded Plato, who was Aristotle's teacher. So give Socrates and Plato a little credit. From WIkipedia: Aristotle (Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης Aristot?lēs) (384 BC ? March 7, 322 BC) was a Greek philosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. He wrote on diverse subjects, including physics, poetry (including theater), biology and zoology, logic, rhetoric, politics, government and ethics. Along with Socrates and Plato, Aristotle was one of the most influential of ancient Greek philosophers. They transformed Presocratic Greek philosophy into the foundations of Western philosophy as we know it. Some consider Plato and Aristotle to have founded two of the most important schools of Ancient philosophy; others consider Aristotelianism as a development and concretization of Plato's insights.

Socrates Edited: 23-Jan-07 Member Since: 08/02/2001 Posts: 958	"Prove Socrates existed outside of Plato's writings." Xenophon wrote a great deal about me, too. And he was a historian, so there. You have ignored this user.
