Let's practice philosophy
Professor Motoyoshi Irifuji
"What is the use of philosophy?" I have been asked this question many times. This question is based on the premise that I have standards for determining whether something is "useful" or not, and that I can judge my answer based on those standards. However, philosophy begins with asking myself, "Am I really allowed to decide what is useful or not?" In this column, I will actually put philosophy into practice and explore what use it is.
