It's weird. I'm taking this philosophy course--Modern Philosophy after 1600--and it is very interesting to see what all of these philosophers were doing. ALL of them were trying to get to the beginning of what knowledge is. To try and find some kind of base with which to work with, or an understanding of the basic principles of life. And how they do this is to reject everything they have learned (pretty much) and start over. Skeptics.

It's safe to say we have all learned false or incorrect things throughout our life. Not everything we learned in public highschool was correct and not everything we learn in college now is correct. A lot our beliefs/outlook/general thinking comes from our experiences in the past and from our parents. Whether that be positive or negative. And I'm sure no one here has had a totally beautiful past.

So it is safe to say that we hold some, if not many, incorrect beliefs. And my thoughts are much like what these philosphers are going through. Where do I start? We have to have a clear picture of where we are going-much like a carpenter has a blueprint before he builds-to move forward.. except I have no picture..
