Founded By

Founded by credits the philosopher who actually established a school of thought. Wikipedia notes "Stoicism was founded in the ancient Agora of Athens by Zeno of Citium around 300 BCE," a single founding figure even though the school grew far beyond him. This dimension connects a school back to the person who first taught it.
