Welcome to Flash Philosophy. As a result of my arbitrary and biased decision making, I have chosen four popular philosophers to write about: Socrates, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, and Friedrich Nietzsche. Each philosopher has their own respective web page, which features information on their life, such as what made them popular and a contribution to philosophy, known quotes from the philosophers, and a few facts about the philosopher that I found interesting. These pages are accessible through links when clicking the name of the philosopher. Enjoy your reading and never forget the value of learning and wisdom.
Aristotle
For pioneering contributions to all fields of philosophy and science, many refer to Aristotle as the first scientist.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For uncompromising criticisms of traditional European morality and religion, and of conventional philosophical ideas and social and political pieties associated with modernity, Nietzsche is debated by many as the most influencial of modern thinkers.
