Question

1. What new information and valuable learnings about philosophy have you learned
from your readings?​

Answer 1

In my studies of philosophy, I read realists and I read idealists, utilitarians and deontologists, emotivists and cognitivists, people who argue that logic is everything and people that argue that it is nothing, metaphysical realism and social constructivism, substance monism, dualism, pluralism, whateverism… I took sides, and I switched sides – I marvelled at the beauty of one argument and lamented its inevitable destruction in the hands of another. What I discovered in all of this was, perhaps, a kind of extension of what I realised that fateful night:

Nobody is right about everything, and everybody is right about something.
