My instinct as a philosopher is that we are effectively approaching a multicentric world, which means we need to ask new, and for the traditional left, unpleasant questions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always been really curious about things and slightly confused by the world, and I think someone who feels that way is in a good position to be the one asking questions.
Quite early on, and certainly since I started writing, I found that philosophical questions occupied me more than any other kind. I hadn't really thought of them as being philosophical questions, but one rapidly comes to an understanding that philosophy's only really about two questions: 'What is true?' and 'What is good?'
The questions which one asks oneself begin, at least, to illuminate the world, and become one's key to the experience of others.
All serious conversations gravitate towards philosophy.
Philosophers are adults who persist in asking childish questions.
It is one of the chief skills of the philosopher not to occupy himself with questions which do not concern him.
The questions of philosophy proper are human desires and fears and aspirations - human emotions - taking an intellectual form.
Philosophy likes to keen common sense on the run.
I discovered that the study of past philosophers is of little use unless our own reality enters into it. Our reality alone allows the thinker's questions to become comprehensible.
Why are we here? Where do we come from? Traditionally, these are questions for philosophy, but philosophy is dead.
