#Platonists - Twitter Hashtag

Sorry #platonists but math is just an abstract description of the concrete physical world we see around us. There is no such thing as the Fibonacci sequence (no ontology), but there is such a thing as the pattern that sunflower petals/pinecones grow in (ontology)

She joins Dr. Danny Layne and Dr. Gareth Polmeer for a conversation about her book: A History of Light: The Idea of Photography. Together they shed light on the many ways in which #Platonists think about #imagery and photography.

IDK if the homophobic #Platonists are for real or just trolls but if Socrates isn’t gay AF I’m a tarantula. Socrates is so boy-crazy he can’t stop commenting on hot men while discoursing on the topics of justice and virtue.

If I were a #posthumanist, I would strongly identify with the Greek #Cynics and #Epicureans. But as a #transhumanist, I'm drawn to the #Platonists and #Stoics. Good luck to those who think that #Aristotle offers some 'middle ground'! But @Pontifex seems to think so.

@GenofMod has taught me to love #arthistory. Essays like this make me want to keep coming back for more. #modernism is for #Platonists!

"If Plato’s worry about painting is that it can appear to be something else, then the greater the degree of abstraction, and the greater degree to which the painting can’t be mistaken for something else, the closer it can potentially come to truth." #art https://t.co/ZXNqo0VlgA

"The Christian #Platonists, such as Clement of Alexandria, Origen, and Evagrius, developed the spiritual life as a form of Christian #Gnosticism. The Christian is the #Gnostic who is called to know God, to possess him and to see him." (PSEUDO-MACARIUS)
