My reading of philosophy and history is desultory; I know so much and yet so little.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Without philosophy, history is always for me dead and dumb.
History is Philosophy teaching by example.
I'm not a great fiction reader. I love history. I love history and philosophy.
I bought some books in order to learn the first principles of philosophy.
I've deliberately studied many things that I know, going in, I won't be able to assimilate. I read Plato, St. Thomas, the mystics, to exercise my mind.
I'm very passionate about philosophy and religion.
I am an example of a person who got zeroed into a philosophy early.
I love history, and I thought I knew history well, but I was shocked by how little I knew about it.
I'm taking a philosophy class and regretting it with everything in me. I'm taking one college class per semester. Philosophy is studying what you already know and dismantling it. I thought it would be right up my alley. I can't tell you how much it's not me.
I want to read philosophers.
