"I'm Not One of Those Intellectuals Who Shoot Without Aim"

"I am of the antiquated opinion that philosophy should continue to try answering the questions of Kant: What can I know? What should I know? What can I expect? What is it to be human? However, I'm not sure that philosophy as we know it has a future. Currently, it follows the trend of increasing specialization, like all disciplines. And that's a dead-end street because philosophy should try to explain the whole, to contribute to the rational explanation of our way of understanding ourselves and the world."
