Tasos Aidonis

Working in education and passionate about philosophy, the new, politics, history and all things medieval, art, philosophy, theology, science.

My guides into writing this sort of blog are Virgil, Dante, Montagne and Manguel. Curiosity is the foundation stone of my thoughts. Curiosity has had a double reputation as virtue and vice. It betokens both care with detail, love of truth and modesty about what we can’t know or shouldn’t ask but also pedantic fussiness, snooping and intellectual pride. This quote in the Economists review of Alberto Manguel’s “Curiosity” is very much to the heart of making these pursuits more public.
