Why YOU SHOULD Study Philosophy

Elliott "Hilster" Hill

Why study Philosophy? In this video I shall go through the history of philosophers, naming both the explicit reasons they gave and the implicit benefits their systems gave to the pursuit of knowledge. From the material monism of the Milesians to the rational self-interest of the Objectivists. and all the Mysticism, Rationalism, Empiricism, and Skepticism in between. Understand all the benefits the study of philosophy can give you in pursuing your life and understanding reality. By understanding some of the most prominent philosophers, such as Thales, Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, John Locke, Immanuel Kant, and Ayn Rand, you can gain the knowledge you need to protect your life and the pursuit of it, to live life to the full. ---------------------------------------SOCIAL MEDIA----------------------------------------- MrHilster.com - http://www.mrhilster.com Twitter - twitter.mrhilster.com Facebook - facebook.mrhilster.com Instagram - instagram.mrhilster.com IGTV - igtv.mrhilster.com SoundCloud - soundcloud.mrhilster.com Minds - minds.mrhilster.com Gab - gab.mrhilster.com Special thanks to https://www.youtube.com/user/teknoaxe for the music, it's fantastic!
