Who are 2 and 4? Schopenhauer and Marx i recognized.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

2 is Friedrich Nietzsche

4 is Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, who also wrote Meditations, a long-lasting Stoic text

Thank you! I even read Marcus Aurelius, but I wouldn't've recognized him.
