One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing,"Philosophy begins when one learns to doubt - particularly to doubt one's cherished beliefs, one's dogmas and one's axioms. Who knows how these cherished beliefs became certainties with us, and whether some secret wish did not furtively beget them, clothing desire in the dress of thought?There is no philosophy until the mind turns round and examines itself.Gnothi seauton, said Socrates: Know thyself.
