1. Philosophy / C. History of Philosophy / 1. History of Philosophy
All philosophies presuppose their historical moment, and arise from it [Feuerbach]
     Full Idea: Every philosophy originates as a manifestation of its time; its origin presupposes its historical time.
     From: Ludwig Feuerbach (Towards a Critique of Hegel's Philosophy [1839], p.59)
     A reaction: There seems to be widespread agreement among continental philosophers about this idea, whereas analytic philosophers largely ignore, and treat Plato as if he were a current professor in Chicago.
