I cannot tolerate people who do not question philosophy therefore people conform to ideas they may not fully understand. I, however, refuse to adopt ideas that seem sketchy. <br /><br />Philosophy is a place of learning about knowledge but my classes are about learning ideas without questioning the knowledge. <br /><br />In my classes, we do not discuss the ideas behind the idea but only the idea itself therefore we never really what we are learning.sergeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277277529316586596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953154528894458368.post-46488093500171811512009-05-16T01:06:00.000-04:002009-05-16T01:06:00.000-04:00Developing our intellectual gifts, not for the pra...Developing our intellectual gifts, not for the praise of others, but for the glory of God. I needed to hear that.<br /><br />This Blog and most especially this last quote was really wonderful for me to hear. I am away this semester in Australia. We have a class that explores the impact America, it's culture, it's economy and all of it's effects on the on the globe, social justice issues, hospitality, politics, and so many other really involved topics. I am learning so much and I am really eager to share. I will do that throughout time but I find myself sometimes overwhelmed. I do not need to be overwhelmed because the Lord knows all I am learning and my heart to share...<br /> So this was my long winded way of saying thanks for the site and thanks for the encouragement!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
