Document Summary
Concepts are very much like water if they are clear you can see to the bottom if they are unclear your thinking can be murky. Metaphysics: what is real, question of human nature, science wants to tell us that only material things exist, most of tend to believe only what realism tells us. Epistemology: how do i know, how do we know that bachelors are actually unmarried men? . Help you think through some of the most important and exciting philosophical problems! Knowledge brings power and power brings philosophy. Plato was so important that every single philosopher since plato stands in his shadow and therefore are beneath him in importance. Without socrates there may not have been a plato at all. Out with the old and in with a new radically way of thinking. Solely responsible for the rupture of the old way of thinking and the establishment of the new way of thinking.
