      Wouldn't Plato be the man in "form" though? Just thinking of The School of Athens here, where Aristotle points out, but Plato points up.

    • @kevinlu9859
      @kevinlu9859 2 роки тому

      @@runrickyrun157 Plato's Theory of Forms: There is a hierarchy of forms( "Good", Ideas, Objects, Shadows). Objects in this physical world are simply manifestations of Forms(the perfect representation of such a thing). Because of Plato's focus on things "above" this physical world, he points up towards heaven in The School of Athens painting by Raphael.
      Aristotle rejected Plato's theory of Forms(but still believed in "forms"), instead focusing on reality and how people can be moral through action. Therefore Aristotle points "down" towards Earth.

    Kung Fu Tsu Confucius
    Nietzsche has just been booked for
    arguing with the referee. He accused Confucius of having no free will,
    and Confucius says, "Name go in book".
    Hegel is arguing that the reality
    is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the
    categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in
    the imagination, and Marx is claiming it was offside.

    So many great jokes in just the German linuep alone:
    -The "back four," I assume the defenders, are Kant and Schoepenhauer and the like... more defensive ideologists
    -The "front runners" I assume the attackers- well, look at who they have: Nietzsche (maybe the biggest "attacker" of ideas ever) Wittgenstein (controversial too with his linguistic theories) Heidegger (another attacker.. and was a Nazi in Hitler's Reich!)
    -Marx, ANOTHER "attacker"
    "Team problems" for Germany? I'll bet! ;)

  • @nightfly016
    @nightfly016 12 років тому +2

    Heraklitus dribbed the ball past the final defender, so he's fine. After that, to be offsides, the player has to be ahead of the ball, not just the prior defender. On the second-to-last pass, Heraklitus just plays into space, and his teammate runs up to the ball from behind, so he's good... and then on the play across for the header and goal, the side-judge must have considered Socrates to be level with the ball.
    Holyl cow, I really analyzed that goal. I've got to get outside more.

  • @Ramblin-Man
    @Ramblin-Man 3 роки тому +1

    For 40 years I've been contemplating German coach "Nobby" Hegel's choice of starting line-up: Where were the youngsters with new ideas, like the disciplined but alienated Prussian/Borusssian Friedrich Engels (a rich commie and a Hegel protegé) and his mate, the impoverished Karl Marx (who got 2 mins. at the end that we best forget). Born the same year (1770) as Ludwig van Beethoven (half Dutch, and a wellknown aficionado of "Total-Fussball"), Hegel clearly belonged to the romantic Germans (like von Goethe mit der Flöte and his Sturm und Drang football), who obviously preferred old-school ontology and the outdated metaphysics, instead of a more straightforward "attack is the best defense" philosophy, with a broad midfield and defenders eager to attack that had proven so successful in The Netherlands? Was that the reason we never saw new, fresh players such as Friedrich (von) Schiller and Wolfgang von Goethe - or were they simply just injured? And what about Friedrich Engels? I didn't even see him or Schiller on the bench...(rumours has it that they might've taken their friendship to a higher, "Greek level", and that Friedrich Nietzsche refused to shower with them).
    "Beckenbauer obviously a bit of a surprise there"...yeah, I heard he acccused his possible Ersatz, Karl Marx, for having stolen a couple of Thaler from him to finance the release of his Das Kapital, when it actually was Marx' friend von Schiller who had helped him out. Those rumours have never been confirmed, and some years later, Beckenbauer himself was accused of embezzlement...
