A statue from a family group. Made approximately 270 BC. Behind the exhibited statues there is a wall photograph of the first outdoor museum in Delphi, where these statues were erected near the site from which they were unearthed in the excavation.
The Philosopher's Walk (哲学の道, Tetsugaku no Michi) is a cherry-tree lined 2 km road located in Kyoto, Japan. It derives its name because Japanese philosopher, Kitaro Nishida, used to walk the path to meditate. (From Wikipedia)
Philosophers' Tree - A bonsai-sized work-in-progress (well, they all are...). Inspired by a piece of driftwood and a box full of gorgeously crafted Chinese figurines - a recent yard sale find. As well as a pine-tree shoot from Susan's garden she convinced me I needed - "bonsai it", she said.
Umberto Eco (b. 1932) is a novelist, semiotician, philosopher, and literary critic most famous for his novel The Name of the Rose (1980). Along with artist Eugenio Carmi, Eco has published three picture books, the first of which is The Bomb and the General, published in Italy in 1966, and then revised and reissued in 1988, at which time it was translated into English by William Weaver.

Another day of sunshine from morning to evening - Today I will go on vacation in my head - including a time travel. Reading about life in ancient Greece is fantastic - their gods were full of wisdom and some of the philosophers were amazing - so they still tell me a lot today.
Painted on my iPhone 3g with Pollock, Brushes, FX Photo Studio and DXP (using Luis' great tutorial, and Patricio's bend of it)...very loosely based on some stories of Borges that I've been re-reading lately...Copyright © 2010 Matthew Seydel Connors.

Lyric Visions
Alexander sits in a plane tree as though in a throne, wearing a Greek helmet engraved with the image of a horse. A falcon as an emblem of his kingly status perches on his gloved right hand. Seated before him is a learned man presenting him with a book, and Alexander appears to be questioning him, as is described in a passage from the Eskandar-nameh section of the Khamseh.
Nezamis Khamseh was popular in the Mughal court of India, for the emperors throughout the Mughal period from the 16th to the 19th centuries aspired to the Persian ideal of the cultured elite who were to be well versed in classical poetry. Persian was the official language of the Mughal court, and many illustrated copies of Persian literary works were produced in the imperial atelier. This page, however, is not a manuscript illustration, but a single page from an album that references the scene in the Eskandarnameh. Typical features of Mughal painting of the early 17th century include compartmentalized composition divided by groups of softly modeled rocks, the distant cityscape, the gently rounded sensitive forms of the animals, and the pastel hues punctuated by vermillion.

A bottle of Three Philosophers 2007 from Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, New York.
This 9,8% abv brew is a blend of 98% domestic ale and 2% cherry-lambic, making this a Belgian Style Blend of Quadrupel strength!
The beer poured a deep red-brown color with a small beige head. Aroma was fruity, with those cherries taking the lead but with an underlying sweetness. Mouthfeel was sharp in the first instant, from the acidic cherries, but very quickly caramel sweetness balanced the sourness and then the roasted bitter flavors kicked in. Wow, complex! A nice, long aftertaste where sour notes linger - washing out the almost caramel sticky sweetness from my mouth. A world class beer.

The philosopher's Walk is a cherry tree lined 1.8km stroll path between the Nyakouji Bridge and theGinkakuji Bridge.
The path is renowned as a favorite route for the famous Kyoto University philosophy professor, Kitaro Nishida (1870-1945), who used to take a stroll along this route to meditate.
It is said tht the path derives its name from Philosophenweg in Heidelberg, Germany, and that aKyoto Universty Professor, Iwao Kokusho who studied in Germany and later became the first president of Osaka University of Economics, named the path the Philosophers Walk in the early Showa Era.
The Philospher's Walk was once called the Philosopher's lane. After Kyoto City developed the path as a promenade in 1970, tourists began to visit there and the name 'the Phipspher's Walk' became established.

About SPINOZA:
Baruch or Benedict de Spinoza (Hebrew: ברוך שפינוזה, Portuguese: Bento de Espinosa, Latin: Benedictus de Spinoza) (November 24, 1632 – February 21, 1677) was a Dutch philosopher of Portuguese Jewish origin. Revealing considerablescientific aptitude, the breadth and importance of Spinoza's work was not fully realized until years after his death. Today, he is considered one of the great rationalists of 17th-century philosophy, laying the groundwork for the 18th century Enlightenment and modern biblical criticism. By virtue of his magnum opus, the posthumous Ethics, Spinoza is also considered one of Western philosophy's definitive ethicists.
Spinoza lived quietly as a lens grinder, turning down rewards and honors throughout his life, including prestigious teaching positions, and gave his family inheritance to his sister. Spinoza's moral character and philosophical accomplishments prompted 20th century philosopher Gilles Deleuze to name him "the absolute philosopher."[1] Spinoza died in February 1677 of a lung illness, perhaps tuberculosis or silicosis caused by fine glass dust inhaled while tending to his trade.
Controversial ideas and Jewish reaction
Spinoza became known in the
Jewish community for positions contrary to normative Jewish belief, with critical positions towards the Talmud and other religious texts. In the summer of 1656, he was issued the writ of cherem (Hebrew: חרם, a kind of excommunication) from the Jewish community, perhaps for the apostasy of how he conceived God, although the reason is not stated in the cherem. Righteous indignation on the part of the synagogue elders at Spinoza's heresies was probably not the sole cause for the excommunication; there was also the practical concern that his ideas, which disagree equally well with the orthodoxies of other religions as with Judaism, would not sit well with the Christian leaders of Amsterdam and would reflect badly on the whole Jewish community, endangering the limited freedoms that the Jews had already achieved in that city. The terms of his cherem were severe.[3] He was, in Bertrand Russell's words, "cursed with all the curses in Deuteronomy and with the curse that Elisha pronounced on the children who, in consequence, were torn to pieces by the she-bears."[4] It was never revoked. Following his excommunication, he adopted the first name Benedictus, the Latin equivalent of his given name, Baruch; they both mean "blessed". In his native Amsterdam he was also known as Bento (Portuguese for Benedict or blessed) de Spinoza, which was the informal form of his name.
After his cherem, it is reported that Spinoza lived and worked in the school of Franciscus van den Enden, who taught him Latin in his youth and may have introduced him to modern philosophy, although Spinoza never mentions Van den Enden anywhere in his books or letters. Van den Enden was a Cartesian and atheist who was forbidden by the city government to propagate his doctrines publicly. Spinoza, having dedicated himself completely to philosophy after 1656, fervently desired to change the world through establishing a clandestine philosophical sect. Because of public censure this was only eventually realized after his death through the dedicated intercession of his friends.
During this period Spinoza also became acquainted with several Collegiants, members of an eclectic sect with tendencies towards rationalism. Spinoza also corresponded with Peter Serrarius, a radical Protestant and millennarian merchant. Serrarius is believed to have been a patron of Spinoza at some point.[citation needed] By the beginning of the 1660s, Spinoza's name became more widely known, and eventually Gottfried Leibniz and Henry Oldenburg paid him visits, as stated in Matthew Stewart's "The Courtier and the Heretic.".[5] He corresponded with Oldenburg for the rest of his short life. Spinoza's first publication was his Tractatus de intellectus emendatione. From December 1664 to June 1665, Spinoza engaged in correspondence with Blyenbergh, an amateur Calvinist theologian, who questioned Spinoza on the definition of evil. Later in 1665, he notified Oldenburg that he had started to work on a new book, the Theologico-Political Treatise, published in 1670. Leibniz disagreed harshly with Spinoza in Leibniz's own published Refutation of Spinoza, but he is also known to have met with Spinoza on at least one occasion[5], and his own work bears certain striking resemblances to certain key parts of Spinoza's philosophy (see: Monadology).
When the public reactions to the anonymously published Theologico-Political Treatise were extremely unfavourable to his brand of Cartesianism, Spinoza was compelled to abstain from publishing more of his works. Wary and independent, he wore a signet ring engraved with his initials, a rose and the word "caute" (Latin for "cautiously"). The Ethics and all other works, apart from the Principles of Cartesian Philosophy and the Theologico-Political Treatise, were published after his death in the Opera Posthuma edited by his friends in secrecy to avoid confiscation and destruction of manuscripts.
Spinoza relocated from Amsterdam to Rijnsburg (near Leiden) around 1661 and later lived in Voorburg and The Hague respectively. He earned a comfortable living from lens-grinding. While the lens-grinding aspect of Spinoza's work is uncontested, the type of lenses he made is in question. Many have said he produced excellent magnifying glasses, and some historians credit him with being an optician (in the sense of making lenses for eyeglasses). He was also supported by small, but regular, donations from close friends. He died in 1677 while still working on a political thesis. His premature death was due to lung illness, possibly the result of breathing in glass dust from the lenses he ground. Only a year earlier, Spinoza had met with Leibniz at The Hague for a discussion of his principal philosophical work, Ethics, which had been completed in 1676. This meeting was described in Matthew Stewart's The Courtier and the Heretic. [5] Spinoza never married, nor did he father any children. When he died, he was considered a heathen anti-religionist by the general population, and when Boerhaave wrote his dissertation in 1688 he attacked the doctrines of Spinoza. He claimed later that defense of Spinoza's lifestyle cost him his reputation in Leiden and a post as minister. (WIKIPEDIA)
