Elgin- “Too strict a commitment to truth stands in the way” i agree with this a lot because coming from a small town a lot of people accept our ways and never expand or grow. if you accept only one truth in your life you will never grow or find more truths in the world
Socrates//Apology- “I am very conscious that I am not wise at all” This spoke to me because you would think a man who has studied so much about our thoughts, the meaning of them, and how they apply to our lives he still believed he had so much left to know making him not wise
do our passions truly stem from our bodily, biological factors and education or what we ourselves eventually determine interest us? if so do you ever reach a time that you realize your true passions or do you go your whole life with your passions picked for you?
Zagzebski- “the source of virtues to a single human motivation, the motivation for self-preservation” as i read she heavily discusses the connection between Dewey’s reflective thinking, a desire to create effective interactions with the world, and personal motivations.
when i read the list that embodies calculative thinking it feels very cold, goal oriented, and closed minded. i appreciate structure and investigation but not at the cost of losing meaning within our thoughts and selves.
Heidegger-“but even when we are thoughtless, we do not give up our capacity to think” this quote say with me for a while. i never realized how many times i have been thinking without knowing i was thinking. we are creatures of constant thoughts we never even recognize.
One of Dewey’s listed errors of reflective thinking was passion. I can think of multiple decisions i made after heavily thinking, where i followed my heart and it worked out perfectly. I find it hard to agree with this notion because I feel our hearts sometimes guide us best.
Do we feel satisfied with the knowledge we gain up until adulthood because curiosity and the unknown is too scary and real?
