Quote:
Quote by: Morality Games  Not a Utilitarian, but even Aristotle's non-art serving knowledge contributes to utility (ennobling the learned man, propelling him toward eudemonia, or well-being). | Yes but it serves not practical value. In fact it creates more happiness because it is knowledge of the immutable that serves no other value then that it is knowable. It he does not say it is good to understand forms because it helps us do some action. He say it is good to know the forms in itself.
"...all life is an experiment. Every year, if not every day, we have to wager our salvation upon some prophecy based upon imperfect knowledge." -Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr |
