I don't feel proprietorial about the problems of philosophy. History has taught us that many philosophical issues can grow up, leave home and live elsewhere.

Philosophy was once considered science.

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

We live in a world in which politics has replaced philosophy.

Philosophy is a kind of journey, ever learning yet never arriving at the ideal perfection of truth.

I've always been torn between the pure and the social sciences.

We should remember that there was once a discipline called natural philosophy. Unfortunately, this discipline seems not to exist today. It has been renamed science, but science of today is in danger of losing much of the natural philosophy aspect.

Philosophy means nothing unless it is connected to birth, death, and the continuance of life. Anytime you are going to build a society that works, you have to begin from nature and the body.

The history of philosophy is not, like the history of the sciences, to be studied with the intellect alone. That which is receptive in us and that which impinges upon us from history is the reality of man's being, unfolding itself in thought.

All serious conversations gravitate towards philosophy.
