Ambrosiana

THE RAPHAEL CARTOON | THE PRE-SOCRATIC PHILOSOPHERS

Among the Pythagoreans there is a figure dressed in white: erroneously indicated by some as Hypatia, he is a young man gifted with virtue and beauty, he embodies the ideal disciple of philosophers and the concept of kalokagathía (to be beautiful and good); the idealized young person therefore personifies the one who seeks in his life the True, the Good and Beauty.
