We begin our journey at the boundary of myth and reason, and along the way we visit the thoughts of the most high-flying of minds who could see that nothing, not ever-changing words, limitless numbers, or mystical visions, were beyond examination.
Philosophy contains 100 chronological articles that recount the inspirations of great thinkers, including:
