hey sarnies... Can anyone please, begging on my knees, help me understand Philosophy. I am trying my best but I am JUST NOT GETTING IT. Is there some kind of way to learn this and better under stand the subject. We are talking about ethics and beliefs at the moment. I am soooo STUMPED...
LOL...
Philosophy is not an easy subject/class.
It's the Love of Wisdom. A long adventure of human thoughts & concepts related to our existence, whatever it is about Love, Beauty, Life, Death, Intelligence, Art, Happiness, Knowledge, the Truth etc...
Through different "Popular" Philosophers, you will learn new concept.... their concepts or perceptions of the world (you have the right to agree or not), but bear in mind that the question that you probably ask yourself, hundreds/thousands years back, there were already ppl. who tried to answer...
The most important about Philosophy is the Questions. Never stop questioning about things around you. Have fresh eyes & an open mind to everything...
There is only 1 book that I want to recommend is:
Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy, by Jostein Gaarder
A very, very good book, I read it 15 years ago...
It was a Best-seller book. You should read it, and hope u will like it too

or if you are too lazy to read, there is also an audio tape version... which is good too.
G'luck
