Week 1: Post 2 - Reading

The thing that got my attention was study from over 50 philosopher’s interview, who were asked some of the strong dominant questions that most people looking forward to hear and know about it. The Socratic Universe, Interviews with California Philosophers were done by Mt Sac Philosophy group. The question number one was about disagreeing with philosophical tradition. I would say there were many different answers by each philosophers, but one I would choose is that “Fischer (U.C. Riverside): I most disagree with what I would call a literary approach to the answers of the "big questions" because nothing is very clear. I like clarity and precision”. Another one of my favorite questions were asked, does god exist? And again, either people (philosophers) were on one side or another. Finally, I really liked a bright new idea that interviewing dozens of philosophers and put together thoughts which can be compared.

The History of Philosophy had really interesting information such as western philosophy and the most famous philosophers of all time. I’ve heard of few such as Socrates and Plato. Socrates is a ancinet Greek philosopher who basiclly now known as a person who made the foundation of western philosophy. Socrates was helped with information by Plato, another ancient Greek philosopher. Plato’s had thought student about philosophy which afterewards widespread with experiments such as logic.
