The following pages may lead you to wonder. That’s really what philosophy is – wondering. To philosophize is to wonder about life – about right and wrong, love and loneliness, war and death. It is to wonder creatively about freedom, truth, beauty, time and a thousand other things. To philosophize is to explore life. It especially means breaking free to ask questions. It means resisting easy answers.To philosophize is to seek in oneself the courage to ask painful questions. But if, by chance,you have already asked all your questions and found all the answers –if you’re sure you know right from wrong,and whether God exists, and what justice means,and why we mortals fear and hate and pray – if indeed you have completed your wondering about freedom and love and loneliness and those thousand other things then the following pages will waste your time. Philosophy is for those who are willing to be disturbed with a creative disturbance. Philosophy is for those who still have the capacityfor wonder.
