DE Weekly: The Good, the True, & the Beautiful
What lies at the core of every philosophical inquiry, every invented line of thinking, and every word on every page of every philosophical treatise ever written? I would argue that philosophy’s aim throughout human history has been to ascertain “the Good, the True, and the Beautiful.”
The Good, the True, and the Beautiful is a classical philosophical concept with roots in Ancient Greece, conceptualized by Socrates and later by Plato and Aristotle.

“I know that I know nothing” is a quote attributed to Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher from whom much of modern wisdom can be traced back to. This quote can be credited to Plato’s Apology, and many variations of the quote exist.
