Mind Marvels: Exploring the Magic of Philosophical Wonder

Wonder is the feeling of a philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder. –Socrates

Wonder is something philosophers know a lot about, as Socrates tells us. He thought that thinking deeply begins with wonder. It’s about asking questions, thinking hard, and trying to understand things better.

For Socrates, wonder is like the starting point for thinking deeply and wanting to know more. It’s what helps us grow wiser and learn new things. Socrates shows us that when we wonder about the world, we start a journey of discovery and understanding.
