← All quotes by Plato

4 quotes

Wonder is the feeling of a philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder.

Philosophy is the acquisition of knowledge.

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

But when I describe something and you describe another thing, or I say something and you say nothing - Is there any contradiction? How can he who speaks contradict him who speaks not.
