The Presocratics: Xenophanes

Blog: http://psychreviews.org/the-presocratics-xenophanes/

With different meditation advice on Transference, Communal Happiness, and Wonder, Xenophanes started moving the philosophical conversation to "the good life." His tone is that of someone who likes good behaviour and memorable social exchanges. If I were to get his MBTI type he definitely likes Feeling Extroversion.
