In undergrad philosophy, most exams are simply headshots of famous philosophers that the students have to identify. In post-graduate studies, they use the picture of Nietzsche when he's shaved.
The mnemonic I learned in school was SPA: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle
So yeah Aristotle is the younger dude simping hardcore for his mentor in the red garb (but really most likely used Plato as a projection canvas for his own ideas in writing)

Look at Plato carrying that book like he didn't make a good living "teaching the controversy" about writing. Just asking questions mfer.

Aristotle would be the younger one. But you probably knew that. Hard to tell. Good job sir.

Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, while Plato they say could stick it away, half a crate of whiskey every day.

Whiskey was invented in the 15th century...

It's like, who died and left Aristotle in charge of ethics?

Plato is the one with very close relationships to a bunch of young boys.
Aristotle is the one who enjoyed femdom.
JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 7d
Femdom, but from a man pretending to be a woman. Everyone knows there were no women in Greece!

Did I stutter?
Proper femdom, she rode him like a horse and whipped him. We even know her name-Phyllis.

Ooh, so the one gesturing with his right hand, got it.

If anyone's curious, Aristotle was Plato's student, so Aristotle is the younger of the two men, and Plato is the older one.

Sorry, my bad. You're definitely right. But if so, everyone in this picture is. By that, they are indestinguishable from each other

Oh fuck I'm confusing Socrates and Aristotle! I'm going to go read dialectics in shame.

Also Plato points upwards bc his philosophy is more about idealism whereas Aristotle points forward bc he's concerned with empirical Philosophy iirc
