Philosophical notes

Meer over het boek

The book explores the emergence of philosophy as a significant human activity over 2,500 years ago in various cultural centers, including China, India, ancient Israel, and Greece. It highlights the concept of "axial time," as defined by Karl Jaspers, during which philosophical teachings developed and some evolved into religions. The text delves into the deeper meaning of "Sophia," beyond mere wisdom, as understood by Plato, emphasizing its connection to a harmonious and well-ordered world rather than just human knowledge.
