Any genuine philosophy leads to action and from action back again to wonder, to the enduring fact of mystery.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
But I owe it to the subject to say, that it has long afforded me what philosophy is so often thought, and made, barren of - the fun of discovery, the pleasures of co-operation, and the satisfaction of reaching agreement.
Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand.
Philosophy is the product of wonder.
Philosophy begins in wonder. And, at the end, when philosophic thought has done its best, the wonder remains.
We also maintain - again with perfect truth - that mystery is more than half of beauty, the element of strangeness that stirs the senses through the imagination.
Philosophy is a kind of journey, ever learning yet never arriving at the ideal perfection of truth.
This life journey has led me to love mystery and not feel the need to change it or make it un-mysterious. This has put me at odds with many other believers I know who seem to need explanations for everything.
Mystery is a birthright of theology and faith, but you often do find religious people grasping for answers that shut things down and narrow what is possible.
All serious conversations gravitate towards philosophy.
Philosophy begins in wonder.
