Abstract

It is human nature the desire of knowledge. The proof is the pleasure we get from our senses, even though we do not consider its usefulness, they praise themselves, and above all the sentences the main one being the vision. According to Platon this philosophical concern has always been the reason of the being of philosophy; the philosopher who loves knowledge always seeks the truth; He loves to know. The search of inner knowledge, demands from the philosopher, not any kind of knowledge hence what is true. The aim of this article is to enlighten the reader to seek this kind of knowledge.
