People say learning philosophy serves no practical purpose. How wrong they are

I adore philosophy and have done since my university days. The art of making sense of the relationship between theory and praxis and all of the immutable and not so immutable explanations offered up to every future living person by the long dead.

The appreciation that every idea is a building bloc that can be utilised like the foundations of a temple or the contours of a hill to create a physical object that influences humanity often without their knowledge.

And then of course it has the most practical purpose.

Shutting down those who gave up thinking in the womb.

James Finlayson
