Why we need philosophy - and philosophers

Paolo Diego Bubbio

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Chapter

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.
