“He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.” Who was Aristotle? Born in Greece, Aristotle lived from 384 BC to 322 BC. The influence of Aristotle’s work on the physical sciences spread far and wide, offering well thought out theory and reasoning that would prevail for many years to come before eventually being replaced by modern physics. As well as science, Aristotle wrote on many other subjects including poetry, music, theater, logic, metaphysics, rhetoric, ethics and politics. The majority of Aristotle’s original work has been lost through the passage of time but around one third of it still remains to this day. Aristotle was also a natural historian, recording data and analyzing the sea life around areas such as Lesbos. His observations and interpretations were frequently years ahead of their time. “He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.”

“The more a thing is perfect, the more it feels pleasure and pain.” Who was Dante? Dante Alighieri born c. May 21–June 20, 1265, Florence, Italy Died September 13/14, 1321, Ravenna), Italian poet, prose writer, literary theorist, moral philosopher, and political thinker. He is best known for the monumental epic poem La commedia, later named La Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy). The narrative describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise or Heaven, while the poem represents the soul's journey towards God. “The more a thing is perfect, the more it feels pleasure and pain.”
