Summary

Have you ever wondered what great philosophers from the past have thought of? What were their ideas, perspectives, and insights on life’s events?

Look no further, as you will learn about four deep thinkers in history who have paved the way for others to learn and to ponder life.

The first of these thinkers is Thomas Aquinas, a catholic man of the clergy who had refreshing new concepts to propose about God, life, and the afterlife. The Marian prayer, the natural law, and some of his inspiring quotes and sayings will be included here.

Following this religious man is the famous David Hume, a Scottish historian and thinker who was a firm advocate of skepticism, naturalism, and empiricism. His thoughts and quotes have been praised by many. Scientific topics were some of the things he was most interested in, and some of these will be discussed in further detail.

Another religious man with political views is Desiderius Erasmus, a philosophers and scholar from the Netherlands, who was born during the Renaissance and stood for the right to education, humanistic views, and Protestantism.

Last but not least, we’ll discuss Baruch Spinoza’s ideas, who combined stoicism, rationalism, and naturalistic views about God in extreme ways. His ethics have been questioned and defended by many philosophers.

Learn more about these great thinkers from the past and discover more about life, yourself, and the universe by pondering them in greater depth.
