Legend for the La Connaissance Puzzle Whimsies
Our La Connaissance Puzzle was painted by French artist Isabelle Plante, and is studded with knowledge-themed whimsies and whimsies of great thinkers. Which great thinkers did we choose? (legend below). Which great thinkers...
Ah, yes, you are right, the accepted romanization is “Confucius” – thanks for catching that.
The term “Confucious,” as we wrote it, should instead be used to refer to that part of the conscious that sends us wisdom, as in, "I was ready to scream at the United flight attendant, but I could feel my Confucious quietly cautioning, “When anger rises, think of the consequences.”
Lovely puzzle! And I love the thought you all put into it. But please note: not
Confucious
but
Confucius.
