Another thing I've found both good and bad about philosophy is interpreting someone's work in a way it wasn't designed to do. I find it positive because you can discover thoughts that are different from what other people would expect. In our online discussions I noticed that sometimes people took the reading in a completely different direction than me and helped me see a different aspect of a philosopher's work. On the other hand, it might be bad to see things differently from a philosopher because what the philosopher presents might be undermined and unappreciated in your thoughts if you really misinterpret his ideas. Another aspect of philosophy that I found interesting is that it is a field that is still being explored today. I used to think that philosophy was more of a story-based art, and as time went on the world faded from serious philosophical exploration. It is interesting to know that there are people who still participate in serious philosophical research today. I think this shows that philosophy is very dynamic and can constantly change with the world. It's also interesting to see the flow of how philosophy changes
