3. Both Plato (Theaetetus) and Aristotle (Metaphysics) identify wonder (thaumazein) as the origin and sustaining principle (arch) of philosophy. While it is clear that the primary object of a given philosophers wonder may differ radically from that of another philosophere.g., change for Heraclitus, number for Pythagoras, and ethical virtue for Socratesit is difficult, if not impossible, to gainsay the claim that the emotion or passion (pathos) of wonder provides the fundamental impetus for the investigations of all lovers of wisdom. With these considerations in mind, identify and discuss what you take to be the primary object of wonder for no less than three (3) thinkers we have studied this semester. Next, please rank the worthiness of these objects of wonder from least to most and support your ranking with a detailed argument. Of course, to formulate this ranking, you will need to define worthiness for your reader. Finally, identify and discuss what evokes your sense of wonder most of all at this stage of your philosophical journey.
