Who in here is thankful to learn philosophy?

Question

i for one finally appreciate the chance to learn and hear about philosophers, from heraclitus to parmenides, i mean this guys lived way ahead of me but they are relevant to my existence everyday--the Being of beings---really awesome to know!

Answer 1

I have studied philosophy fr many years, yet feel I have less insight into things than when I began.  

Answer 2

I don't try to think about life and its unanswerable questions.

I just live it.

Answer 3

I just spent my summer taking philosophy courses, and I would not want to do it again.  I had great professors, but it is not my favorite subject.  I took intro to phil. at the beginning of the summer, and ethics from July to August 7.  I made an "A" in the first part, and hopfully an "A" in the ethics.

Answer 4

Yes, I know. I've studied it all my life, and now I have a couple of professors looking at my work. I understand your excitement. Don't lose it. My own website is below.

Answer 5

Philosophy is a qualitative endeavor, it improves quality of life. It is also a way to live life (as was mentioned above). We study perennial philosophical questions in order to see how the  best minds deal/dealt with answering these questions. In the compare and contrast process of our thinking, we learn how to better develop our own answers. It is inevitable, in this process, to have "favorites". Socrates influenced me more than any other philosopher and I am very thankful.

Answer 6

Not me!

Answer 7

Philosophy is a way of life. You need to delve inside it in order to learn it. I am really thankful to socrates, swami vivekananda, paramhansa, etc, etc for their immense store of knowledge and being Being.
