been several philosophers who have contributed to the discussion. Plato, in his piece “Ion,” provides an explanation of knowledge (technique) and inspiration, and how they affect an artist. Plato does this through the dialogue of Socrates and the rhapsode Ion, whom is an expert in the poems of Homer. Although written long ago, when art wasn’t as developed/diverse as it has come to be, the basic concept of knowledge versus inspiration is one that paved the road for future philosophers to further the

Coleridge was a groundbreaking poet whose idea of poetry remains the standard by which others in English are tried. He was notably responsible for new German demanding philosophy.

Dante makes his belief in the power of reason and faith clear from the beginning, as he, through Virgil’s words, describes sinners as “people who have lost the good of the intellect” (Inferno 2.16).

short, fat, philosopher to compare himself to a great Warrior, Socrates is completely serious in his comparison. He used a comparison between himself and Achilles as an analogy to represent his immense motivation to Philosophy. Achilles, living in an honor culture, was willing to die over what he believed was right, and Socrates was no different in that regard.
