Analysis of Philosophy's Use

Ian McCleary 1992 (Morris Plains, NJ)



Philosophy, the source for all human morality  has been used by the prideful, by the haughty, and the arrogant. It's only usefulness is when it has made it beyond the scope of a mind exercise.

Socrates spoke of those who claimed knowledge where they hadn't any. He said wisely it was much better to admit ignorance where one did not have knowledge.
That is where philosophy finds it's relevance again.
