My ap art history class is funny bc the amount of notes I have to to take for different pieces is hilarious, like the Apollo 11 stones vs Stonehenge, one page has like 10 sentences on it vs one that covers the entire page in cramped handwriting
It’s also funny bc all of the global pre-history pieces are just full of descriptions like “who made this? We have no fucking clue. Why was it made? Eh who knows.”
La singularité et l’antisociabilité sont le reflet de la méthode de questionnement philosophique, mettant en avant la vertu individuelle et la quête de vérité. Cette approche met en lumière le fait que, en remettant en question les normes sociales, l’individu cherche à découvrir ses propres valeurs intérieures et son chemin vers la vérité. Dans ce contexte, le conflit entre l’interrogation intérieure de l’individu et la quête de sagesse, et les valeurs acceptées par la société, le sépare de la structure sociale tout en lui offrant une profonde expérience de libération et d’authenticité.
