wonder philosophy

shared by Daryl Bambic on 02 Dec 14 - No Cached
  • By drawing us out of ourselves, wonder does make us feel small and insignificant, but it also gives us right perspective by reconnecting us with something much greater and vaster and higher and better than our daily struggles. Wonder is the ultimate homecoming, returning us to the world that we came from and were in danger of losing.

      Does this sound like the world of Forms?
  • Socratic wonder is not so much wonder in the sense of awe, but, as hinted by Aristotle, wonder in the sense of puzzlement or perplexity: wonder that arises from contradictions in thought and language, and gives rise to a desire to resolve or at least understand these contradictions.
  • Socrates himself only turned to philosophy after being puzzled by the Delphic Oracle, which, though he believed himself to be ignorant, pronounced him to be the wisest of all men.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • “I am likely to be wiser than he to this small extent, that I do not think I know what I do not know.”
  • Wonder is a universal experience, found also in children and perhaps even in higher-order primates and other animals
  • of wonder share a concern for what is in some sense beyond us, or beyond our grasp.
  • and the end of wonder is wisdom, which is the state of perpetual wonder.

  • it is also unreliable
  • But Plato also believed that this is not the whole story. Behind this unreliable world of appearances is a world of permanence and reliability. Plato calls this more real (because permanent) world, the world of ‘Forms’ or ‘Ideas’ (eidos/idea in Greek).
  • The Idea or Form of a triangle and the drawing we come up with is a way of comparing the perfect and imperfect.
  • If we can conceive the Idea or Form of a perfect triangle in our mind, then the Idea of Triangle must exist.
  • true and reliable knowledge rests only with those who can comprehend the true reality behind the world of everyday experience.
  • Plato’s philosopher-kings, who are required to perceive the Form of Good(ness) in order to be well-informed rulers.
  • already present in a person’s mind, due to their soul apparently having been in the world of the Forms before they were born.
  • Forms cannot be discovered through education, only recalled.
