Philosophy... What's that?

Hmmm, philosopher... That's an unfamiliar word!

phi·los·o·pher

fəˈläsəfər/

noun

1. a person engaged or learned in philosophy, especially as an academic discipline.

That still may be a bit unfamiliar! A philosopher is ultimately a person who inquires or studies philosophies or also know as deep subjects about life. Science, mathematics, religion, society, and so on...

We have read and viewed some of the great pieces of Renaissance art that Raphael has created. He also created the piece known as School of Athens! In it, he depicts some of the most famous Greek philosophers (deep thinkers) during that time!

Imagine our class just like these great thinkers! What would you add to this group of philosophers?
