Begins Feeling Philosopher Philosophy Wonder

Quote Author

Plato
Greek - Philosopher
427 BC - 347 BC

For this feeling of wonder shows that you are a philosopher, since wonder is the only beginning of philosophy.

Plato

Philosophy begins in wonder. And, at the end, when philosophic thought has done its best, the wonder remains.

Alfred North Whitehead

Aristotle said that philosophy begins in wonder. I believe it also ends in wonder. The ultimate way in which we relate to the world as something sacred is by renewing our sense of wonder. That's why I'm so opposed to the kind of miracle-mongering we find in both new-age and old-age religion. We're attracted to pseudomiracles only because we've ceased to wonder at the world, at how amazing it is.

Sam Keen

In wonder all philosophy began, in wonder it ends, and admiration fill up the interspace; but the first wonder is the offspring of ignorance, the last is the parent of adoration.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

If philosophy begins in wonder, pedagogy typically begins in frustration.

Lee S Shulman

Philosophy begins with wonder.

Aristotle

Philosophy begins in wonder.

Plato

This sense of wonder is the mark of the philosopher. Philosophy indeed has no other origin.

Socrates

Wonder [said Socrates] is very much the affection of a philosopher; for there is no other beginning of philosophy than this.

Plato

I have argued that philosophy doesn't begin in wonder or in the fact that things are, it begins in a realization that things are not what they might be. It begins with a sense of a lack, of something missing, and that provokes a series of questions.

Simon Critchley

All spiritual life begins with a sense of wonder, and nature is a window into that wonder.

Richard Louv

There are lots of stories about how philosophy begins. Some people claim it begins in wonder; some people claim it begins in worry. I claim it begins in disappointment.

Simon Critchley

When we affirm that philosophy begins with wonder , we are affirming in effect that sentiment is prior to reason .

Richard M. Weaver

Of course I've been called everything; Wonder Wonder Woman, Wonder Bra, Wonder Bread.

Stephen Thompson

Wonder was the motive that led people to philosophy ... wonder is a kind of desire in knowledge. It is the cause of delight because it carries with it the hope of discovery.

Thomas Aquinas

Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.

Thomas Aquinas
