After Reading The Socratic Universe

After I read The Socratic Universe, I would want to talk about which Philosophers I admire. There are lots of philosophers not only in the history but also around our life. There are no right or wrong in the philosophy world. Every philosopher has their belief. Even though sometimes I might disagree with some of them, I still respect their faith. However, there are some philosopher that I admire such as Lao-Tzu, a Chinese philosopher in the Spring and Autumn Period. Somehow that’s kind of difficult to explain his belief in words. However, make a long story short he believed everything in world is created by nature. We need to live peacefully with the nature, not to destroy, compete with it. The most influence faith on me is simple-minded.

On the other hand, there are lots of philosophers in the western culture, too. One of my favorite philosophers is Socrates. “I do not suppose that I know,” said Socrates. He advocated no one desires evil, no one errs or does wrong willingly or knowingly, all virtue is knowledge, and virtue is sufficient for happiness. Those we called Socratic Paradoxes influence a lot. I love it because I believe people really don’t need to be professional on everything. I don’t know is not a shameful thing. We can learn. In addition, more and more people nowadays are lack of virtue. I agree with Socrates that virtue can lead people to happiness, peace, and better life.
