I would eschew, in my prolix view, 'philosophy is poetry clarified, its' subject explained, sufficing the meter remain unchanged.
Meter? Perhaps measure is the better word, so fits the studied view, where a philosophy branch has rooted anew. No, I'll leave that to those under peer review, the sophists, the educated herd.

That was one of the most meaningless pieces of incoherant babble i've ever heard. And i've heard some real kickers.

Once tried to conquer Earth, and succeeded! Too bad it got really, really boring, really, really fast.

One day, we shall all look back on this, and laugh. Sorry about the face, by the way, and the legs, and the eyes, and the arms. In fact, sorry 'bout the whole body.

Philosophy thread?  Perfect!  I can't remember any of the answers to my exam questions!


Anyone remember what Socrates thought about A Priori ideas and reincarnation?  I can't remember for the life of me and it's not even in my book. :(

Socrates?

All I know was Aristotle's tabula rasa thing.

Umm, I think Socrates held that all knowledge is innate to man and that "learning" is simply helping that knowledge come out into the open, hence 'Socratic midwifery'.

But I'm not sure.
