I did not note the artist but this would not be out of place in a Gentleman's library. The museum has a idiocentric collection of sculpture. Some very fine my noted artists, some parlor pieces.
Named after a character in our favorite book, "Way of the Peaceful Warrior." Very cool, philosophical book. Most loyal of our two, more elusive as well. Scared of the kids and all strangers. He was abused and cringes if you try to pet his head. Poor thing. He's even scared of the camera so it's much harder to get pictures of him. His sister, Sadie, is a much more willing subject.
Socrates ... Your Framed !

Before dying, Socrates recommended to his disciples: I owe a cock will Aesculapius, do not forget to pay it.

"And when Socrates endeavoured, by true reason and examination, to bring these things to light, and deliver men from the demons, then the demons themselves, by means of men who rejoiced in iniquity, compassed his death, as an atheist and a profane person, on the charge that "he was introducing new divinities;" and in our case they display a similar activity. For not only among the Greeks did reason (Logos) prevail to condemn these things through Socrates, but also among the Barbarians were they condemned by Reason (or the Word, the Logos) Himself, who took shape, and became man, and was called Jesus Christ; and in obedience to Him, we not only deny that they who did such things as these are gods, but assert that they are wicked and impious demons, whose actions will not bear comparison with those even of men desirous of virtue."

Socrates is the ancient Greek thinker philosopher and moralist,became very influential in the development of Greek philosophy and,thus was born at Athens son of Sophroniscus, and his metho to involved asking probing questions,by modifying one's position through questionings and exposures to contrary ideas. Socrates' personal philosophy at age 70 he was charged with heresy.
Without falling into inconsistency,Socrates' education had for its basis a profound and consistent Doubt about the truth of something, we learn that Socrates was well known around Athens,the Athenian citizen which included not only a knowledge of the mother tongue, and readings in the Greek poets, but also the elements of geometry arithmetic and astronomy,several of Plato's dialogues refer to Socrates' military service. Socrates explicitly denies accepting payment for teaching. Socrates left no books; what we know of him comes to us through the writings of Plato.
The Divine mission primarily directed to natural sciences
The Divine mission primarily directed to natural sciences ,from Socratic method very admired figures in history where he held conversations with the citizens of Athens by questioning those who listened him ,to showed them the answers so formed many enemies in the city of Athens as a result of his teachings.
Socrates spoke
Meanwhile students of Socrates considered the murder of his teacher by the democracy of Athens a great crime against Philosophy.Since defense speeches were made by the principals in Athenian legal practice, Socrates spoke in his own behalf and his defense speech,of several thousand years of failure to correctly understand physical reality,Socrates spoke to find there one possible solution of most simple defense speeches discrete and separate we are all connected to commonly experience unity of reality,but the history shows that truth eventually triumphs.
He saw no absurdity
He saw no absurdity in learning,therefore he was condemned by 281 votes more than those given for acquittal less jurors ruled in his favor, after he spoke were assessing what he should suffer on what fine he should pay,He was put in prison,at the age of seventy, he ingested the poisonous plant a few days afterwards drank the hemlock, after much noble discourse which Plato records in the Phaedo.
I've walked past this school in the German Village neighborhood of Columbus many times but never noticed the words carved in stone over this entrance. It's a quote from ancient Greek philosopher Socrates about the value of learning.

This week I've started reading up on the ancient-Greek philosopher Socrates. He died in 399BC aged about 71, coincidentally the same age as myself. So far I've learned neither of us feared death, even though in our younger years we'd both experienced active military service. We'd also both realised early in life the importance of maintaining moral virtues to protect our own mental heath and spirituality. There were also other things in common. We and our fathers had all dabbled with stonemasonry. I like that bit. Furthermore, Socrates and I each grew full beards and preferred to go bare footed whenever possible. Unfortunately we were both considered to have grown uglier as we aged. Unlike me, Socrates wasn't a writer, his wisdom is dependent on the veracity of secondary sources such as Plato, Xenophon and Wikipedia, all of which I intend to delve into for a while. I also own a weighty copy of the 800 page Oxford history of the classical world.

For no particular reason other than it being almost the end of the year, I was wondering last night what I had been writing about on this date in the three earliest years of Fremantlebiz. In those days I didn't have a digital camera, so more words were the thing. Much more than what I write now. I used to write quite provocatively about all manner of serious subjects, some of which can easily read by clicking the links below for the three 28 Decembers of 2004, 2005 and 2006:
