Our good Roissy, also known as Heartiste, and respected by his fellows. Like Socrates, Roissy was lately judged to be a threat to the state, and therefore denied his place in the forum. Although it would have been easy for him to reproduce his ideas elsewhere, he appears to have remained silent these few years.

Yeah, Freud. Only a jew could unironically assert something so depraved.

Freud would have hated to be called a philosopher as philosophy was concerned with abstract idealism instead of the psychologism which was just starting up around then. He was also from Austria during its very materialist period at the turn of the century. All this being said people are very apt to place him in history of philosophy and with philosophers, or his ideas as philosophical moments. This is a testament to how he did psychology, in psychoanalysis, vs an empirical approach.

>Aedesia was a female philosopher of the Neoplatonic school who lived in Alexandria in the fifth century AD.[1] She was a relation of Syrianus and the wife of Hermias, and was equally celebrated for her beauty and her virtues. After the death of her husband, she devoted herself to relieving the wants of the distressed and the education of her children, Ammonius and Heliodorus.
>Ammonius’ mother Aedesia had been chosen as a young girl by Syrianus, a relative of hers, to marry Proclus, who would succeed their teacher Syrianus as head on the latter’s death in 437. When Proclus was kept from marrying her by ‘some god’, Aedesia was then married to Proclus’ fellow student Hermeias.

This is actually a tragedy tho, because Ammonius became a Sophist (even if his whoring out to the Christians preserved the Alexandria school until Islam), because Proclus was also said to have been extremely attractive, if they had got a bunch of Platonic children their beauty alone would have drawn thousands.

>Aedesia, wife of Hermeias. She was a relative of the great Syrianus, the most beautiful and noble of the Alexandrian women. She had a similar character to that of her husband, simple and honourable, while caring throughout her life for justice no less than moderation. But where she was truly exceptional was in her love of God and of Man. Hence she attempted to benefit the needy in a manner beyond her means so that when after Hermeias’ death she was left with orphans to look after, she continued to spend just as much on charity, with the result that she bequeathed to her sons a life of debt. For this some people criticised her. But she, thinking that the one treasure of any worth as regards the life after death was the will to lighten the burdens of poverty for holy and good people, spared nothing in her compassion for the human condition. As a result, she was beloved even by the most wicked of her compatriots.

Absolutely based. I have a dirty mind so I thought she went into prostitution or something.
