For a long time, that was the the whole impulse for philosophy in the western tradition. So his enterprise was doomed from the start since he already had the result he wanted in mind before he even began his inquiry. <BR/><BR/>I agree with you that the "What is reality" question is hopeless and hopelessly tedious. I was a philosphy major as well. When my fellow students started on the "what is reality" discussion I usually politely bowed out. <BR/><BR/>What you said about careful reading, connecting ideas, and so on, that is the chief value of a phil major. I'm glad I went that route.Mariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05898542018345335158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2866419825231400899.post-2409780030809353542007-06-03T15:58:00.000-07:002007-06-03T15:58:00.000-07:00Amazing.
