The Philosophy of Psychology

Socrates said, “Strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people.”

In a similar vein, I believe it was Jung who said something to the effect that weak minds don’t have ideas, but are possessed by ideas and ideologies. It takes a strong mind to truly have ideas. This ability to have ideas distinguishes a person from an automaton.

And since the possessor is greater than the possessed, persons are greater than even the greatest ideas. Perhaps we should discuss persons? Or how to become one.
