To me, what philosophy does best is reflect on knowledge that's generated in other areas.

I think the philosophy that we don't know as much as we think we know resonates throughout my work.

You can't do without philosophy, since everything has its hidden meaning which we must know.

It is a great advantage for a system of philosophy to be substantially true.

I don't have a philosophy in a nutshell; I would go on and on too much.

Though I am fascinated by knowledge, I am even more fascinated by wisdom.

The only good reason to embrace a philosophical position is that you are convinced it is true or at least makes sense of the world better than the alternatives.

The object of studying philosophy is to know one's own mind, not other people's.

There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.

My reading of philosophy and history is desultory; I know so much and yet so little.
