Question

What can you take from these different philosophical traditions to inform your daily practice?

Answer 1

Rationalism refers to a philosophical tradition deriving from Plato which takes logic and reason as the means to generate timeless truths. The contrast is with empiricism, the view that knowledge is based on experience. Thus, philosophical traditions belong in the lives of everyone. They help me in solving my problems -mundane or abstract, and they help me in making better decisions by developing our critical thinking (very important in the age of disinformation).
