“Philosophy begins in wonder." -Plato”

“For this feeling of wonder shows that you are a philosopher, since wonder is the only beginning of philosophy.”

“Philosophy begins in wonder. And at the end when philosophic thought has done its best the wonder remains.”

“Philosophy, beginning in wonder, as Plato and Aristotle said, is able to fancy everything different from what it is. It sees the familiar as if it were strange, and the strange as if it were familiar. It can take things up and lay them down again. It rouses us from our native dogmatic slumber and breaks up our caked prejudices.”

“I have argued that philosophy doesn't begin in wonder or in the fact that things are, it begins in a realization that things are not what they might be. It begins with a sense of a lack, of something missing, and that provokes a series of questions.”

“My worldview aside from my Christian perspective is more aligned with Plato's thinking, conclusions, and philosophy”
