Our course will discuss this issue, and we will learn about the means to enter that world. But here is a preview.
Ideas play a central role in life and so have great value.
They are all around us and in us. They have profound consequences, in part because they lead to other ideas and to action. The more we search, the more we find that ideas govern our life, identity, society, relationships, and world. It is imperative for us to discover what ideas we accept and why, as well as where our ideas and the ideas around us come from. Otherwise, we can neither fully understand and be masters of our own lives nor make much sense of the world around us.
