So now that we're freaking out. Captain Aristotle has told us to be philosophers we need to ask 'are things what they appear to be'. We wanna be philosophers. So we ask the question. Now what's next, captain?
Remember, philosophy is also concerned with what causes things.
Yeah, we remember that. But err.....
Okay lets take flash back.
Sounds fun.
The first step a philosopher takes is to look around him. Material must be cause of everything. Like with out water, we'd die. So logically water must cause our existence. Something like that.
Well sure. I'm doing that now. What am I doing wrong?
Do you like wood or bronze?
Yeah sure, why do you ask?
Well do those things make stuff from themselves?
No. Probably not. What's left to do then Captain?
Well I bet the next step is to assume things are put into motion by some sort of intelligence.
Great. I'm thinking that right now. Tell me when we're done with the flashback.
