Anthony Quinton’s zodiac sign is Aries. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well.
Anthony Quinton was born in the Year of the Ox. Another of the powerful Chinese Zodiac signs, the Ox is steadfast, solid, a goal-oriented leader, detail-oriented, hard-working, stubborn, serious and introverted but can feel lonely and insecure. Takes comfort in friends and family and is a reliable, protective and strong companion. Compatible with Snake or Rooster.
Remembered for Spaces and Times (1962), The Nature of Things (1973), and Thoughts and Thinkers (1982), this prominent British Philosopher and author subscribed to the metaphysical philosophical notion of nominalism.

In his early adulthood, after graduating from Christ Church, Oxford, and briefly serving in the Royal Air Force, he was a fellow at Oxford University's New College and All Souls colleges.
In the early 1980s, he was given the title of Baron Quinton.
