The passage given below is followed by four alternate summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the passage.Philosophers starting from Socrates, who lived in the 5th century B.C., to Bertrand Russell of “Why I am not a Christian” fame, have fascinated me for a long time. The only reason for my fascination is that all of them used to think differently, mostly on abstract subjects such as “What is the purpose of life?” or “What is justice?” or “Why are we here?” Not only do they think differently, but also expose sophisms, spot fallacies and guide our reasoning. Philosophers spend many years, nay decades, honing their skills on thinking vertically or laterally. They use their own tools to regiment their thinking. Their main tools are inductive and deductive logic. Students who study logic as a subject know the intricacies of learning it.1)  Philosophers from Socrates to Bertrand Russell have captivated me due to their unique approach to abstract questions about life and justice, excelling at identifying logical fallacies and guiding reasoning through inductive and deductive logic, which requires years of disciplined study.2)  The fascination with philosophers like Socrates and Bertrand Russell stems from their unconventional thinking on concrete issues, using inductive and deductive logic that takes a lifetime to master and is primarily studied by students of logic.3)  Philosophers, including Socrates and Bertrand Russell, are known for their distinct thinking on problems such as the purpose of life and justice, using sophisticated tools like inductive and deductive logic, which are difficult to learn with or without formal education.4)  Philosophers from Socrates to Bertrand Russell intrigue me because they apply unique and practical reasoning to questions about life and existence as their study and use of inductive and deductive logic are essential for understanding the complexities of human thought which they have mastered over the years.

In one society. How strange that all. The terrors, pains, and early miseries, regrets, vexations, lassitudes interfused within my mind, should e’er have borne a part, and that a needful part, in making up. The calm existence that is mine when I am worthy of myself!
