read philosophy, read it from Plato, not someone writing about Plato! This is just how
I do it...

It is important to build off what previous generations have left but ridiculous to dismiss current philosophers. Do you belive that all philosophical concepts about soceity, existance and sceince have remaind constant from 347 B.C. ? Our existance is the work of thousands of years of human development building on top of itself, where would we be now if we as a species stopped trying to rationalize our existance because previous Philosophers had already exhausted the issue. We need to stop looking to other people for answers and define our own thoughts and ideas as being important.
