Journey Through Philosophy

The latest posts, podcasts and videos about my Journey Through Philosophy will appear on this page as they are created.
Introduction.

Philosophy is a discipline that seeks to answer some of life’s most fundamental questions. It is an inquiry into the nature of reality, the meaning of existence, and the principles that govern human behaviour. From the ancient Greeks to modern thinkers, philosophy has played a critical role in shaping the way we understand ourselves and the world around us.

Join Steff as he explores the rich and diverse world of philosophy, examining some of its key concepts and thinkers. We’ll delve into the major branches of philosophy, including metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics, and explore the central questions they seek to answer. We’ll also examine the historical context in which these ideas emerged and the impact they have had on the development of human civilisation.

Through this exploration, we hope to deepen our understanding of the human condition and gain a greater appreciation for the rich and varied history of philosophical thought. By engaging with these ideas and exploring the different perspectives they offer, we can broaden our horizons, challenge our assumptions, and gain valuable insights into the complex and fascinating world we inhabit.
