Intro to Philosophy and Ethics

 1.       Studying philosophy and ethics is really important because it teaches us a unique set of skills available through studying this particular subject. As a student and a human, being able to think critically is invaluable. We will learn to answer questions about ourselves and the world, argue in a logical way, and make our thought processes clear and correct. 

        As I said, unique skills are acquired through studying philosophy and ethics. I read some articles and I will write here some of the things I agree with. It helps us become reasonable. I love logic and I use it in ways that are not meant to be used on. That's how much I value logic and if philosophy helps me become more reasonable then I think it will be enjoyable. It helps us be moral; it offers us knowledge, it helps us lead to many great achievements, it satisfies our sense of being a person and it helps us live a better life but most importantly we should learn how to enjoy our lives. I could go on but there are so many things philosophy and ethics can teach us that I just can't enumerate them all. 

      I quoted some of the lessons from this website HERE! 

2.      "Socrates: I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing."

        I strongly agree with this famous line by Socrates. He was the wisest man who ever lived for he knows that with all the knowledge he has gained, it's still nothing compared to how much there is in our world. For me being wise isn't about being the most knowledgeable in a field of expertise or spouting the most words in an argument. It's about how you use your knowledge to identify an action and judge it accordingly.
