The study of philosophies should make
our own ideas flexible. We are all of us apt to take certain general ideas for
granted, and call them common sense. We should learn that other people have held
quite different ideas, and that our own have started as very original guesses of
philosophers. A scientist is apt to think that all the problems of philosophy will ultimately be solved by science. I think this is true for a great many of the questions on which philosophers still argue. For example, Plato thought that when we saw something, one ray of light came to it from the sun, and another from our eyes and that seeing was something like feeling with a stick. We now know that the light comes from the sun, and is reflected into our eyes. We don’t know in much detail how the changes in our eyes give rise to sensation. But there is e A. The argument whether philosophy will ultimately be solved by science or not. B. The importance of learning philosophies, especially the history of philosophy. C. The difference between philosophy and science. D. A discuss about how to set a proper attitude towards future. [单项选择]Passage 3
