We could live at the present day without a Plato, but a double number of Newtons is required to discover the secrets of nature, and to bring life into harmony with the laws of nature.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Since Plato, we have been considering the nature of knowledge, the meaning of meaning and the status of the physical world.
To sum up the whole, we should say that the aim of the Platonic philosophy was to exalt man into a god.
Plato is dear to me, but dearer still is truth.
We live in a Newtonian world of Einsteinian physics ruled by Frankenstein logic.
Could we have entered into the mind of Sir Isaac Newton, and have traced all the steps by which he produced his great works, we might see nothing very extraordinary in the process.
Plato's philosophy is a dignified preface to future religion.
It would be better for the true physics if there were no mathematicians on earth.
Once Ptolemy and Plato, yesterday Newton, today Einstein, and tomorrow new faiths, new beliefs, and new dimensions.
Plato was a bore.
All thought is naught but a footnote to Plato.
