RE: Philosophy – What It Means, and Why It Matters
as I see it, we should go back to the classic philosophers of the ancient times, like Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, etc.. they all knew the fundamental importance of the Trivium. after them the field has become a major distortion and distraction. However, I consider myself as a deoccultist, making esoteric concepts more accessible in a more contemporary jargon.
ps: following and I resteemed Opening the Gate to Wisdom: The Ancient Trivium
Thank you E.C., I am truly honored to have an ally like you - you do great work ;)
I agree 100%. It’s not that there’s nothing to be garnered from latter contributers to philosophy, but they absolutely muddied the waters and fractured the pursuit into 1,000 splinters. The core truths are what root our thinking. The other twists and turns are fun to think about - and great excercise - but what people really need to know could fit on an index card. With a deep understanding of those root principles, everything else can be inferred.
