3. HEREDOT
• Herodotus was an ancient Greek historian who was born in
Halicarnassus, Caria and lived in the fifth century BC. He
has been called the "Father of History", and was the first
historian known to collect his materials systematically,
test their accuracy to a certain extent and arrange them
in a well-constructed and vivid narrative. The Histories his
masterpiece and the only work he is known to have
produced is a record of his "inquiry", being an investigation
of the origins of the Greco-Persian Wars and including a
wealth of geographical and ethnographical information.
Although some of his stories were fanciful, he claimed he
was reporting only what had been told to him. Little is
known of his personal history.

5. KANT• Immanuel Kant was born in 1724 in Königsberg, the capital of Prussia at
that time, today the city of Kaliningrad in the Russian exclave of
Kaliningrad Oblast. He was the fourth of nine children . Baptized
'Emanuel', he changed his name to 'Immanuel' after learning Hebrew.
In his entire life, he never traveled more than ten miles from
Königsberg.His father, Johann Georg Kant , was a German harnessmaker
from Memel, at the time Prussia's most northeastern city . His mother,
Regina Dorothea Reuter , was born in Nuremberg. Kant's paternal
grandfather had emigrated from Scotland to East Prussia, and his
father still spelled their family name "Cant" In his youth, Kant was a
solid, albeit unspectacular, student. He was brought up in a Pietist
household that stressed intense religious devotion, personal humility,
and a literal interpretation of the Bible. Kant received a stern
education – strict, punitive, and disciplinary – that preferred Latin and
religious instruction over mathematics and science. Despite being raised
in a religious household and still maintaining a belief in God, he was
skeptical of religion in later life and was an agnostic. The common myths
concerning Kant's personal mannerisms are enumerated, explained, and
refuted in Goldthwait's introduction to his translation of Observations
on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime. It is often held that Kant
lived a very strict and predictable life, leading to the oft-repeated
story that neighbors would set their clocks by his daily walks. He never
married, but did not seem to lack a rewarding social life - he was a
popular teacher and a modestly successful author even before starting
on his major philosophical works.

7. ARİSTO
• Aristotle’s was a Greek philosopher and polymath, a student of Plato and
teacher of Alexander the Great. His writings cover many subjects, including
physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, linguistics, politics,
government, ethics, biology, and zoology. Together with Plato and Socrates,
Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy.
Aristotle's writings were the first to create a comprehensive system of
Western philosophy, encompassing morality, aesthetics, logic, science, politics,
and metaphysics. Aristotle's views on the physical sciences profoundly shaped
medieval scholarship, and their influence extended well into the Renaissance,
although they were ultimately replaced by Newtonian physics. In the zoological
sciences, some of his observations were confirmed to be accurate only in the
19th century. His works contain the earliest known formal study of logic, which
was incorporated in the late 19th century into modern formal logic. In
metaphysics, Aristotelianism had a profound influence on philosophical and
theological thinking in the Islamic and Jewish traditions in the Middle Ages, and
it continues to influence Christian theology, especially the scholastic tradition of
the Catholic Church. Aristotle was well known among medieval Muslim
intellectuals and revered as"The First Teacher". His ethics, though always
influential, gained renewed interest with the modern advent of virtue ethics. All
aspects of Aristotle's philosophy continue to be the object of active academic
study today. Though Aristotle wrote many elegant treatises and dialogues, it is
thought that the majority of his writings are now lost and only about one-third
of the original works have survived.

9. SCHILLER
• Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller was a
German poet , philosopher , historian,
and playwright . During the last seventeen years of
his life Schiller struck up a productive, if
complicated, friendship with already famous and
influential Johan Wolfgang Von Goethe. They
frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics,
and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he
left as sketches. This relationship and these
discussions led to a period now referred to
as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together
on Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in
which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents
to their philosophical vision.
