» Feature Writer Brian Tubbs - Sorry :-)

In response to Sorry :-) posted by RLSharp:


ancient, modern, and contemporary

I actually prefer that classification, because it breaks philosophy down more chronologically as opposed to ideologically. And it allows for the fact that there's great diversity in philosophy within the given periods.

I also don't like the implication that pre-modern philosophers were all backward and ignorant. Some of the most profound insights and observations come from "premodernist" philosophers, including Socrates, Aristotle, Anselm, and Aquinas.
