Okay let me ask was he present during the American revolution, or maybe he had to do something with colonialism ? like if this was not 19th century then 18th century ?

Way earlier.

BC era, yes, finally!
Does not count as philosopher. More as scientist.
Almost there.

He built war machines, when his city was at war.
So he did not kill with his hands, but supported violence.
During the war, he witnessed violence.
Bad death, as he was killed when soldiers entered the city. (Even though the little story that he said "do not disturb my circles", because he was drawing geometrical figures and formulas, probably is a myth).
Besides what was preserved of his work, nothing is known about his life.
But it is likely that, like Tesla, his research and work was all that mattered for him, that he was not interested in love relationships and such.
Sword cards, depending which ones, sometimes are interpreted as making decisions with the mind. Left brain. Someone who is rather brainy than emotional. Well, we do not know what kind of person he really was. Definitely a brilliant mind. Not necessarily cold-hearted or even cruel, just probably not the emotional or social type. Would be my guess.
Some say he was the first mathematician and physicist, as he was the first known thinker who based his theories purely on experimental proof and calculation.

Congratulations, angelic_star!

You are next.

Very interesting interpretation of the swords there, yes absolutely, so much of higher thought with the swords, more rationality, logic than emotions.

Thanks for being so patient with me :)

Gender?
King of Wands
Suggests male, but you never can be sure as we have seen in the past.

Known for? Field of Work?
The Emperor
Leader or ruler. Could be a country, or just a company. Pragmatic, realistic and with a high self-confidence.

Personality?
King of Pentacles
A king again. So maybe he is a king or emperor indeed. Looks like things like safety for himself and his people mean a lot to him. Not necessarily after money, but probably enjoys luxury.

Surroundings, like era and country?
Page of Wands
Looked up the key words on different web pages as well as I checked my book.
Situation seems not too bad, but I am having trouble to catch what this card could mean when it refers to country and era.
Probably no war currently going on, no major crisis. Might want to expand, though. New things to be tried or new discoveries or something. A more hopeful atmosphere.
Could mean all different times and places.
Could be Ancient Egypt (there is something in the background of that card that looks like pyramids, and the young man is standing in a desert) or modern times, close to now, depending on the location.

Country ruler most likely. King, Emperor, President, something like that.
EDIT: Probably somebody with "leadership qualities" who loves to rule, enjoys their job and everything that comes with a "high rank". Most likely male. Definitely a strong "male" energy.
