About Me

The only thing we require to be good philosophers is the faculty of wonder. Babies have this faculty. That is not surprising. After a few short months in the womb they slip out into a brand new reality. But as they grow up the faculty of wonder seems to diminish. Why is this? Do you know? ... To be more precise: Although philosophical questions concern us all, we do not all become philosophers. For various reasons most people get so caught up in everyday affairs that their astonishment at the world gets pushed into the background. (They crawl deep into the rabbit's fur, snuggle down comfortably, and stay there for the rest of their lives.) To children the world and everything in it is new, something that gives rise to astonishment. It is not like that for adults. Most adults except the world as a matter of course.From: Sophie's World By: Jostein Gaarder
