Philosophy as a public service
If you want to really understand philosophy, start with Pythagoras, the man coined the term Philosophy and Cosmos -- and conducted the first attested scientific experiment in history.<p>His legacy, through Plato, was resurrected as a key element of the Renaissance and Enlightenment.<p>It makes modern philosophy look like a sad farce since this legacy of modern thought probably isn&#x27;t taught in a single modern philosophy course (happy to be proven wrong).
