The Importance of Philosophy in Human Life: The Application to Different Fields of Study

Harini Navoda De Zoysa

"Philosophical inquiry is very valuable, suitable only for those who possess a modest amount of courage, humility, patience and discipline. Doing philosophy requires courage, because one never knows what one will find at the end of a philosophical investigation."

"Since philosophy can deal with the most fundamental and important issues of human existence and since these are things that most people initially take for granted, genuine philosophical inquiry has the potential to unsettle or even to destroy one’s deepest held beliefs. (Barron, 2013)"

"To engage in genuine philosophical inquiry also is to risk isolation among one’s peers, both for the unorthodox views to which such inquiry may lead and for the simple unpopularity of critical thinking. A philosopher must be able to face both consequences."

did Socrates even write anything? i dropped out of philosophy in 1st year

i only really read stuff around stoicism

amen, a little bit goes a long way

Idk tbh
Same tho
Finished meditations jumping around with Seneca, Epictetus and Watts
It’s funny because the first thing Seneca says in letters is to stick one book but, f*** it

i dont like the way college teaches philosophy. its just regurgitate other peoples ideas. it should be focused on me thinking for myself

i don’t hate him as others do i hear about i like how precise and to the point he is but as well i read him for an hour and half today and only progressed 10 pages

Socrates didn’t write anything everything we know him are from other greek writers like Plato

This why my wife dropped out of philosophy grad school lmaooo
