Why is Aristotle spinning an invisible deck? ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a reference to Rafael's School of Athens. Plato and Aristotle are in the centre of the painting: Plato is pointing upwards to the realm of ideal forms, and Aristotle is pointing forwards, into the empirical world.
