RE: ADSactly Art History - The Further Development of Hellenistic Art: Architecture, Urban Planning, Philosophy and Religion
Hippocrates, Euclid, Archimedes were born in the time where individualism was blooming. They were more aware how everything in space time continuum is connected and that we should act as part of nature. Individualism doesn't mean separation from each other, it means investing to use full potential of us as humans.
The infrastructure is also made in that way, as per divine proportion. Even if so many people don't know that fact, they cannot resist to admire the structures. As our inner self knows better what is made in a line with the nature, and that automatically means beauty as proportion in nature is beauty. You must have heard about Fibonachi sequence (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ect) All things in nature are made from this sequence.
Aristotle is one of fathers of Greek philosophy. He was the youngest among tree fathers. Socrates famous quote "I know that I don't know anything" will be eternal truth, as we are growing spiritually we are aware that we are part of something we don't have idea about and only if we keep open mind we will be able to get at least few percentage of worlds knowledge and wisdom. Plato was speaking about how one country should operate in the best possible way and I am recommending that for e"Republic" to read.
Hopefully, all of us will again turn back to ourselves and invest in ourselves first to benefit personally us and society as whole.
Namaste.
