The History of Philosophy|S01E13-Socrates-4

Socrates-4

Who knows how these cherished beliefs became certainties with us, and whether some secret wish did not furtively beget them, clothing desire in the dress of thought? 

There is no real philosophy until the mind turns round and examines itself. Gnothi seauton, said Socrates: Know thyself. 

哲学是向内的,关注内在世界;而科学是向外的,关注的是外在世界


There had been philosophers before him, of course: strong men like Thales and Heraclitus, subtle men like Parmenides and Zeno of Elea, seers like Pythagoras and Empedocles; 

but for the most part they had been physical philosophers; they had sought for the physis or nature of external things, the laws and constituents of the material and measurable world. 

That is very good, said Socrates; 

but there is an infinitely worthier subject for philosophers than all these trees and stones, and even all those stars; 

there is the mind of man. 

What is man, and what can he become?
