In your opinion, who was the most original thinker in ancient history?

Question

Why?

Answer 1

I would say Archimedes. he was a philosopher, teacher, mathematician, architect, engineer, inventor, the list goes on. But he though outside the box, so to say. In the 2nd Punic War when his home city of Syracuse was under siege from the sea the king asked him could he do anything. He invented massive claws which just picked the Roman triremes straight out of the water and dropped them on the shore in little broken bits. Thats practical ingenuity on a grand and original scale. The Romans won and a soldier killed him but that soldier was sentenced to death for the killing of a brilliant mind.
My other suggestions are Socrates for original social thinker, Jesus for original psychological thinking and Buddha (Siddharta Guatama) for original spiritual thinker.

Answer 2

the most original thinker in the not so ancient history is Nikola Tesla, a Serbian immigrant from Croatia, he is accredited with inventing A.C. or alternating current, and the invention of the radio, which became the predecessor of the cell phone and other wireless communication, see the links below for more info on this brilliant scientist, and his long time rivalry with Thomas Edison

Answer 3

Hammurabi bc of his codes. It is suggested that these codes were the basis for the bible and the commandments, including the golden rule, treat others as you wish to be treated, it originated here. This seems to be a basis for the worlds moral codes and for our structure of laws. Baically a base on which society evolved.

stupid question from the place do you derive the perception that "with the intention to have a abdomen button, one might desire to have had an umbilical cord". Thereis NO information of this declare, no longer to show information. Gods creation of Adam and Eve "in his very own image" might desire to no longer in all likelihood have been an precise adequate image to mirror such gentle imperfections as scar tissue. the concept that "all human beings are created equivalent" is insulting, whilst you're conversing approximately actual appearnaces... any sort of start defects from cleft palates to hermaphrodites to babies born with tails or webbed ft belie this declare. an no, it is neither an exciting philosophical or theological debate... its purely stupid
