Recently quite fascinated with philosophy. ‘The World Philosophy Made’ by Scott Soames.
Philosophical investigation is the root of human knowledge. Develops new concepts, re-interprets old truths, re-conceptualises fundamental questions. We live in a world philosophy made! Book’s a concise history of philosophy’s world-shaping impact in areas like science, technology, art & politics.
Rebuff’s a huge mis-conception that philosophy is ivory-tower thinking. Traces essential contributions to field’s as diverse as law & logic, psychology & economics, relativity & rational decision theories. Refers to great thinkers of medieval & modern era.
Explore how philosophy has shaped science, maths, religion, culture & education. Above all, oneself. From principles that govern society to digital technology, philosophy opens up new possibilities & productive perspectives.
Major thanks for the post.Really looking forward to read more. Great.
