Uncomfortable Philosophers

Confucius, Socrates, Seneca, Avicenna, Hus, but also Nietzsche or Marx and many other thinkers were ahead of their time with their views and ideas. They often found themselves in conflict with the ruling powers or became the target of the uneducated. Their troubled lives usually had a tragic background: they remained misunderstood, and were also persecuted as rebels and heretics.
