We might ask what is true and good and beautiful and then how we shall live together.
These topics and terms are actually remarkably few when we consider how many of the thoughts of the last 3000 years in the West which they can subsume.
On the issue of ontology, thinkers will admit to physics or physics and metaphysics, and much else will follow from this.
Two great traditions in Western Philosophy are Athens and Jerusalem: Reason and Revelation, Logos and Mythos, Secular and Sacred, Human and Divine, Socrates and the Bible.
