Today is World Philosophy Day! Philosophy helps us to define who - TopicsExpress



          

Today is World Philosophy Day! Philosophy helps us to define who we are and how we relate to each other. From the belief systems of ancient civilizations to the new frontiers of medical ethics, philosophical inquiry and exploration continue to make significant contributions to human progress. Philosophy deals routinely in universals in broadly shared questions about human existence, beliefs and behavior. That gives it uncommon and unexpected power to help build bridges between people, and to open channels for communication among cultures. Let us use this essential expression of the human mind to change our minds, for that is where true peace begins. On this day, let us pledge to do our part to guard against the politics of polarization, and to reject stereotypes, ignorance and hatred.
