Things You Learn from David Gordon
| Peter Klein |
Nicolai has written on great beards in philosophy. From David Gordon’s talk this morning on “Money and Philosophy” I learn that Thomas Aquinas, among his many other distinctions, was also the heaviest of all the great philosophers. Apparently his church had to install a special altar with a large cutout so Aquinas could take communion. According to David, Aquinas’s only possible rival for the title of heaviest great philosopher is David Hume.
