> Quick retrospection and annotation in philosophical efforts from ancient times until now <

books icon Many thinkers and philo­sophers reacted brilliantly to prejudice, nonsense, reckles­sness and human egocentricity with their creative spirit and impo­rtant writings, from ancient times until now. They approached great truths, formulate arguments, showed unilateral and extreme opinions and restrained them. They emphasized the creativity of human spirit and set a philo­sophical way of life as example. I want to express my admiration and optimism and together my sorrow for those writers who I couldn't study them until now or it did not happen still.

If somebody reader is informed about the main thoughts of a philosopher from a summary -of a philo­sophical dictionary or encyclopedia and some other brief references- unfortunately nothing will understand. Rather, reader will conceive a warped until an irrelevant view of theory that the same philosopher has thoroughly formulate it. Often, we writers -particularly professors that teach the history and subsections of philosophy- consider selectively some thoughts, if these appertain to popular questions that we consider as staple and firmly questions in Philo­sophy. Thinkers and philosophers perhaps did not consider these questions so much signifi­cantly and decisive and in first priority. They approached to their thoughts from a peculiar and extra­ordinary thinking and through different experiences even to the most ordinary questions. They formulated their theories with different concerns and not as seem from the final wording and completion of their essays. Philosophers have expressed rational thoughts and key-observations, inferences and concepts which we remove or misquote and differently interpret them -selectively in many cases- in order to we summarize and understand their theories.
