- Hi, Mackenzie. Philosophy has its roots in ancient Greece, and it literally means love of wisdom. So we learn how to think about ourselves, how to think about the world, how to think about our communities, and in that process really come to an understanding about how to learn, how to think, and how to act. Most people I think certainly have the idea that philosophy is something really abstract, but we actually do in philosophy is we think pretty seriously about how ideas themselves work. This is what we want. We want a test we can apply. I love the things that I do. I love the things that I teach. So if I'm going into class and I'm gonna be teaching on something that day, I'm truly excited to share it with the students. I'm excited to see them start to care about it and to see how it really does matter and to see the transition from not really understanding what's happening to having what I call a good confusion, to that light bulb moment, is just one of the best feelings in the world. So he says that ethics is just like law-making. To think carefully about an argument means that they will be far more suited to be able to understand any other type of challenging problem that comes through. So what it's teaching us to do in many ways is to be a complete person. The excitement I have for classes is partly what we're talking about, but also it's seeing the students grow. What do you think about that?
