“I had no idea what philosophy was until I went to college at UBC. I first read Hume and Plato, so naturally I was under the misapprehension that philosophers are trying to figure out what is true, and that contemporary philosophers are mainly trying to figure out what is true about the mind. Of course Hume and Plato were trying to do that, hence my misapprehension.” TryingMindFirstsIdeasPhilosophyCoursesFiguresCollegePhilosopherContemporaryNo IdeaPlatoHume Author:Patricia Churchland
