Since [my] earliest days of philosophic study, I have remained concerned with the works of philosophers, not in themselves, but as helps to the understanding of experience. I study the works of philosophers out of an interest which subordinates theory to understanding. . . . It will be ever important to me to give attention to technical philosophy but I will never be able to take technical philosophy as the ultimate phase of a reflective life.
Reblogged this on Mists on the Rivers.
yes, I like the readings after Wittgenstein which suggest that the question is how to make one’s forward way in the world.
