@Bock,
If you think that is your only error, that would underscore my point. You don't appear to understand the standard syntax for a question, nor the need for agreement of verb endings with subject of the sentence ...both suggestive of ESL However, if you are serious in your choice of subject, I suggest you try a standard text like Russell's 'History of Western Philosophy' before biting off more than you can chew.
(NB Knowledge of either French or German would be an advantage for reading some philosophers later in the course, but your syntax does not suggest that knowledge.)
