I’m often asked why one reads philosophy, what practical value will it have? Why must everything have practical value is a good question itself. I’ve read many views on why philosophy, the best of which I think came from the British philosopher Isaiah Berlin. He told journalist Bryan Magee in his wonderful philosophy series back in the 70s and 80s for the BBC that the purpose of philosophy was to find the questions we haven’t found yet. “The great hallmark of philosophy is that you don’t know how to proceed.” He goes on to say that once philosophy has come up with the questions, it passes them on to science and heads back to the unknown.
