Very generally is not enough. A philosophical standpoint has a tradition. We the humans inherit ways of thinking, memeplexes that can not be isolated in atomic concepts, neither reduced to fancy mathematical formulas. These set of related ideas include attitudes about life, an interpretation of the history, and a set of "prophets" and precursors of his way of thinking. Even if he don´t know his tradition, he is a consumer of a vulgarized version of the view, which is a second rate version of the same ideas reduced to the present. That historical holistic way of working of the human mind is why modern thinkers that follow a the tradition, the one of modernity, that despises tradition, can not think at the deep level of the thinkers of the past and falsely think that the ancients were confusing. That is not the case. If anything, the modern thinkers are simple. and sterile. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
