I like this post of an introduction to philosophy. I would write more of a comment but when it comes to this subject I tend to get carried away with one thought leading to another, and no one needs to read an entire book in the comments section.
haha yes, philosophy has a way of doing that I often drift off and have to bring myself back. lol. Thanks for reading!
I really like this post, since I'm trying to make Socratic debate cool again (you know, people arguing with the goal of honing the mind and finding the truth) <3
Thank you for taking the time to read it. He is cool in his own right so good luck with that. :)
Every truth is absolute to a certain level or we may call it layer, beyond this layer it proves wrong. Every truth has many faces depending on from where you look.Hello @insideoutlet thanks for that informative post :)
Yes very true the version ofthe truth always depends on the person's perspective telling it.
I love the philosophy tag on here, too! I think one of the most important things I learned was how to understand that Socrates quote. I find comfort in admitting that at the end of the day, none of us really "know" anything or "know" any more than anyone else - the major questions in life are left unanswered for us all. Nice post!
Thank you! It took me a while to get the meaning of the quote but now I have it makes complete sense. We never stop learning if we are wise.
exactly!
I'm pleased to know that you've got interest in Philosophy. Philosophy as a discipline question almost everything that exists including the existence of God, rationalism etc.
One of my favorite philosophical quotes is"I think therefore I exist".
Philosophy could be paradoxical some times. How would you say a wise man knows nothing lol. That's philosophy for you.
Great post and best wishes!!!
Thank you and I love that quote too. :)
Yea, that's one of the first quotes I got to know in Philosophy.
