Geocache Description:


My friend Pixie loves both philosophy and football! What can be better than combining the two? She preserves in fond memory when Greek and German philosophers played a friendly in Munich on 18 December 1972. The Greek side won 1-0, with Socrates scoring the decider in the very last minute. The Germans disputed the result, as reported by the commentator: "Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and Marx is claiming it was offside." From the preserved film snippets (highly recommended) it is quite clear that Marx was right, but the VAR system was not even thought of at the time, so the Greeks prevailed.

Pixie invites you to find out some vital information, which you will need in order to find a geocache that she has hidden.

The cache is not placed at the posted coordinates, but it's a good spot to start a football match!

Go search at the following coordinates, where the northing is represented by German players and the easting by Greek players: 

Northing: 59 [Kant][Kant].[Schlegel][Jaspers][Beckenbauer - Schopenhauer]   (Pixie fully agrees that Franz Beckenbauer was a "surprise inclusion"!)

Easting: 017 5[Heraclitus].[Plato][Socrates - Plato][Aristotle - Epictetus]
