Should ordinary people ask philosophic questions ?


Question


Should ordinary people ask philosophic questions ?
Can ordinary people ask philosophical questions, or will it requre some certain kind of education or authorization to ask the quotproperquot questions the right way ?


Answer


Do you think the first person to ever ask a philosophical question was anything but quotordinaryquot? I mean philosophy came about from ordinary people with extraordinary questions and ideas.. Before they developed philosophy as an intellectual discipline it came from ordinary people. Part of the beauty of philosophy is that it often deals with the ordinary, yet shows it in a new light, or encourages a new way of thinking about it. Anyone can do that, you dont have to be special..
