PHI 2010 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Socratic Questioning
Document Summary
Philosophy is about working on yourself and your ideas. Recognize that your world view rests on pudding. To be human is to be in solidarity with the suffering with the oppressed people. Optimism (everything is and will be good) is na ve: grow up, things are bad. Hope recognizes the problems: hope that if we work, we might make things better, hope motivates us to put in that work. Socrates questioning: prophetic witness and tragic comic hope. Care about the problems and work to make things better. As much as you can, improve it in the time you have.
