And I suppose that Durant means Socrates kind of philosophy, the kind that questions life other than just enjoy life (I forgot exact context but I seem to remember he said this when he was writing about Socrates).Yun Yihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311104014692132715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3343295804928403795.post-39359063292422547212015-01-23T19:58:56.367-05:002015-01-23T19:58:56.367-05:00That's one way to look at philosophy. yunyi. ...That's one way to look at philosophy. yunyi.

To doubt or question cherished beliefs is healthy and necessary, and that’s when philosophy begins.JerseyLilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381518701383106141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3343295804928403795.post-47439591521077565442015-01-12T12:57:44.064-05:002015-01-12T12:57:44.064-05:00Me too.

By the same token, I "believe"that others can feel differently and think differently. Open mindedness.
