Plato on the left, who from the heights looks down, then Aristotle on the right, mouth half open, eyes towards the sky towards which he wants to climb. Plato from Latin Plato, Platonis. Further on, from the ancient Greek πλάτων, plátôn (broad, with broad shoulders), a nickname designating the physical aspect of the philosopher. To me, the width is that of his own mind. A broad and spatially extended vision. Aristotle Coming from the Greek aristos (αριστος), the best, and from the Greek telos, (τελος), the goal, the end, the achievement, the accomplishment. Here it is the notion of height, and not of spatial width in addition to that of time, of goal. Width and height form a cross which prophesies that of Christ.
