Socrates: Most men (ie. human beings) have either "wind eggs" (false pregancies) or "monstrosities" (bad ideas) as ideas or concepts in their minds, rather than "robust brain children" (good ideas or good concepts) that should be nurtured and brought to fruition. But Socrates could help you abort your bad concepts or send you to someone else who could help your mind become "pregnant" if you would only answer his questions as honestly as possible.

Plato: Thought most men (ie. human beings) would be better men with a better law giver (if only a philoospher would become King or by some dispensation of Providence a King would become a "true philosopher") and better laws in a perfect State or "Polity".

Thales: He thought that philosophers could become rich if they wanted to --- but they didn't want to become rich. He actually proved his point by talking to a natural philosopher about what kind of olive harvest they'd have the following year. The guy said "Huge"! So Thales bought up the rights to all the olive presses, in the winter, and leased them out when the predicted huge harvest came in, thereby making a killing because everyone had to rent their olive presses from him at a profit to him. Then he gave a big party with his profits to show that he really didn't care about making money. His views of "man" were similar to everybody else's views of the time.

Anaximander: Man evolved from other/earlier animals who were not men.

Aristotle: Man is a political animal and only a social animal who has a sense of justice vs. injustice can be a political animal. That said, most men (ie. anthropoid animals) prefer the same sort of lives as other animals --- the lives of eating, drinking and sexual reproduction.

St. Augustine: There are 2 types of men. (1) Those who dwell in the City of Man and enjoy it, being unable to imagine any other kind of city. (2) Those who want to dwell in the City of God and enjoy that kind of metaphorical "city" eternally.

Aquinas: Much like Aristotle. Man is a political animal. But his true happiness is to dwell with his maker in eternity. And if you can't figure it out, logically, you can take the advice of Holy Mother Church.

Machiavelli:- It is better to be a Prince's adviser and friend, rather than a Prince's enemy or a simple "nobody". Maybe. Maybe not.

Hobbes:- Man is a "smarter animal" than other animals. Men only differ in "degree" of intelligence from other animals --- they don't differ in kind of intelligence. [The "Socratics" disagree. Sensation and Knowledge differ in KIND rather than in degree.] He has the best kind of life in a "Leviathan" with a just monarch as his ruler.

Kierkegard: Bet on eternal life, more than on card/dice games. If you bet wrong on "eternity" and there is such a thing, your bad bet will be an eternally bad debt.

Marx: If only there becomes a true Dictatorship of the proletariat man will finally live in "Eutopia" (good place) instead of "Utopia" (no place). So far, not so good. The Soviet Union seems a failed experiment.

Nietzsche: We're still waiting for his "Super Man" or "Over Man". Maybe the mistake has been that we have yet to obtain an "Over Woman" --- despite the coming and going of Margaret Thatcher in England and Mrs. Regan and Mrs. Clinton in America.

theological point of view

Man is the most complex, truly unique physical mechanism ever designed and made. With such a marvelous mind and body, we might expect it was only natural that our Maker send along his "Instruction Book" - just as a manufacturer sends along with the instrument or device he manufactures an instruction book describing what his product is designed to do.

That Instruction Book God did send. It reveals the missing dimension in knowledge - the incredible human potential.
