did you just finish taking philosophy 101 or something?
No, but about age 40 (23 years ago!) I read my first philosophy book: Mortimer J. Adler's TEN PHILISOPHICAL MISTAKES.
It really jolted me awake! Philosophy wasn't a bunch of old, dead guys wearing white sheets pontificating! It was really about
how to use your mind to discover how you know what you think you know.
I never looked back from that point.
Philosophy is really two camps: Plato and Aristotle. All throughout history no matter who came along later; thinkers were either mystical (Plato) or rational (Aristotle).
How we think is either the result of our imagination, wishful-thinking, superstition and bias (Plato) or it is rational, logical, dat driven and reasonable (Aristotle.)
Why do you ask?
