While many people love to write o the humanities as nonessential, the simple truth is that subjects such as philosophy have had a drastic impact on the world. Philosophers have been ghting to show their impact ever since Marx let slide a biting accusation on the matter. This introspective look into philosophy has taught humanity several things. The irony of this statement is not lost on philosophers either. After all, philosophy is the study of universal and fundamental problems – existence, knowledge, reason, values, language, and the mind. Why wouldn’t they also study the very idea of philosophy? It is easy to spot countless philosophical theories that ended up changing the way we looked at the world. In turn, this directly changed the way humanity functioned. Plato’s philosophy posited that all humans want to ourish and that there is an irrefutable connection between the ability to succeed and one’s happiness. This, in turn, impacted many Western religions, as well as ethics. https://jeanetmadurodepolanco.net/how-philosophy-has-changed-the-world/
