I am perplexed at why someone would want to sit around and ask questions about questions about other questions that cannot be answered. This is my first philosophy course and to be honest, I have no desire to be one of those types of people. However, I have learned a lot from reading the posts from everyone and have enjoyed working parts of my brain that have been dormant forever. I love new points of view. Having said that, I have to make a post regarding chapter four. In the section of Ontology, and what is real, I too question what is reality? As humans, we are all have different opinions. We see things differently on many different levels. What is our true history if we rely on what others have told us ? Who's to say it hasn't been distorted over time? Should we take it for what it is or seek out the truth? What is the truth? It seems that the answers to these questions can only go unanswered so what's the point in asking?
