I am writing a paper on the differences between Plato and Aristotle's views on rhetoric, and I would like to start my paper by mentioning a few other examples of students who, in disagreeing with their teacher's theories, came to breakthroughs of their own. I can think of Freud/Jung, and that's it. Can anyone come up with a prominent teacher/student dynamic like this?
Merci!
There's Freud and Reich.Wilhelm Reich.
Salieri/Mozart-maybe.
Copernicus/Kepler-
Pythagoras and somebody.
I'm not sure Freud and Jung made any "breakthoughs".
I think I'd choose the Copernicus/Kepler because your teachers probably won't know much about them and so you can make up what you want.Koestler's The Sleepwalkers is the book there.
Stumble It!
