Ageometretos Medeis Eisito


         The saying of Plato "Let no-one without knowledge of geometry enter", so the original version of the saying in Latin is "Ageometretos medeis eisito" (ἀγεωμέτρητος μηδεὶς εἰσίτω in Greek) which also known "Matematiksel olanı anlayamayan buraya girmesin." in Turkish. We can argue about the saying and ask ourselves, "Why Ageometretos medeis eisito" which is a mathematical saying is in the Academy (Philosophy Academy)?", but this may be possible because in this saying, Plato means the importance of analytical thinking in philosophical thought system. Meanwhile, let me define what the analytical thinking is: Analytical thinking is a critical component of visual thinking that gives one the ability to solve problems quickly and effectively that allows you to break down complex problems into single and manageable components. Therefore, Plato refers that people acts with the mathematics' knowledge when they repeat their attitudes in the face of life and comments about living creatures and happenings. Because of that, Plato says "Let no-one without knowledge of geometry enter". And also, we can say that the Akademeia are grounded by Plato with a mathematical and rationalistic thought and he follows his master Socrates.
