Document Summary
People claim that philosophy borrows from love stories-their narrative structure, their need to be told, their need to be embodied in words. Philosophy; roadblocks and avowedly underhanded schemes have led to its devaluation and exile. What you and i call philosophy is disappearing. Love of wisdom freud; have to think through its essential ambivalence discern the contradictory values in harbour. Philosophy may not be as radiant as openly positive as its etymology seems to indicate. Since then we"ve consigned philosophy to oblivion and even to something less poetic than oblivion and perversely much more attractive to me we"ve consigned to ridicule. Philosophy if it still exists is worn out. Our culture is marked by deficit, exhaustion, chronic fatigue. Directly threatened by one of those autoimmune diseases that we generate ourselves. Philosophy began in relation to failing health and to this day issues statements that often parallel doctors orders, prescriptive ordinances a rhetoric of wholesomeness.
