- Augustine (354-430 AD): "Withdraw into yourself, truth dwells in the inner man"
- Thales of Miletus (620-546 BC): "A scientist tends to know everything about the world that he forgets to know anything about himself"
- Confucius (555-479 BC): "The Great Sage" Wise Man
The Place of Humanities in the History of Western Civilization
- Ancient (800 BC): Cosmocentric View, Protagoras: "Man is the measure of all things", Geocentrism: Man is at the center of the universe
- Medieval (300 AD): Theocentric View, Scholasticism: Man is created in the image of God, Man is at the center of creation
- Renaissance (1400): Anthropocentric View, Humanism: Nothing is more wonderful than man
