Why We Need Philosophy – and Philosophers
-
Paolo Diego Bubbio
Abstract
The chapter develops the argument that it is impossible to do without philosophy, because philosophy is everywhere, whether one realizes or not. The chapter then advocates for a conception of philosophy as ongoing conversation that is, simultaneously, an interpretation of the world and an attempt to change the world.
