Same River Twice

I love the philosophy course I'm doing this year. It's a basic overview of all the important philosophers, and the consequences of their ideas. It starts with Thales back in 480 B.C. or whenever. I find philosophy to be prodigously fascinating; it is an art--poetry of the mind, really--and, in my opinion, seconded only by the art of language.
