      Is he? Plato’s Republic suggested odd battle tactics, and telling lies to discourage the aristocracy from keeping money. But he also started a kind of proto-Feminism.

      What little I remember of Aristotle was madness from start to finish, but then I didn’t read much of him.

        Plato thought that all apples got their essence from an eternal platonic magic Apple. I’d say he was pretty wrong on that.
