- W2082146584 abstract "There is a striking moment in one of Plato's books that has always given me pleasure interpret for students, partly, I suppose, because I have spent a good part of my life in philosophy, but mostly because it shows so clearly and quickly the distance between Plato's world and ours. A simple question is raised?about young people devoting themselves (as Plato says) to geometry or any other sort of philosophy. Nowadays, it is hard believe that geome try or any of our sciences were once a part of philosophy, especially if you are a college student struggling through some opaque classic in epistemology. Indeed geometry was already distinct in Plato's day. His linking of geometry and philosophy calls mind, however, the process by which many ancient studies slowly separated themselves from philosophy and reveals students an unfamiliar pat tern for the life and work of the mind. The ancient patterns of thought were less precise and certain than ours, with fuzzy edges and plenty of huge gaps, and they could never satisfy our desire for all the truths and goods of the world. Students hardly need be told this. A free and wide ranging philosophy such as the one Plato refers would send a shudder through even our artists of systems and ecological studies, say nothing of our administrators, legislators, and others, who could never evaluate it with out rising its own ethereal (and vague and unproductive) level. Yet these old patterns of thought speak an urgent need in our own time, for they are made up of similarities and combinations among things rather than separations, of free movement from one domain another instead of limitation and specialization. Most philosophers today, however, would shudder, too. They and their forebears have over the centuries been soundly thrashed for their pretensions. Often justly" @default.
