Xenofanes z Kolofónu citáty

Xenofanes z Kolofónu/Kolofonu alebo Xenofanés z Kolofónu bol grécky filozof, zakladateľ eleatskej školy, prvý učiteľ jednosti spomedzi elatských filozofov.

Myslel skôr básnicky ako pojmovo. Bojoval proti antropomorfným predstavám o bohoch. Požadoval múdrosť zbavenú všetkého zmyslového. Za najvyššie, za všetko považoval Jedno, Boha-Prírodu. Úplnú istotu o bohoch a ich povahe sa však podľa Xenofana zatiaľ nepodarilo získať nikomu, nad všetkým sa rozprestiera zdanie. Wikipedia

Xenofanes z Kolofónu: Citáty v angličtine

“But if cattle and horses and lions had hands
or could paint with their hands and create works such as men do,
horses like horses and cattle like cattle
also would depict the gods' shapes and make their bodies
of such a sort as the form they themselves have.”
