Philosophy
Donate nowWhy does the human being think?
Why has he always devoted so much time to the study of being and becoming, to defining what is good, true, just and right?
Why has he poured so much energy into pondering his own thoughts, into reflecting upon them, and into writing countless philosophical treatises to pass down to future generations?
What drives the philosopher, and what is he seeking when he engages in philosophy?
It is certainly not the need for physical survival, nor that of the species. What, then, impels him—if not the human spirit, the soul within him that compels him to seek the truth which thought alone can reveal?
Are not thought, freedom, and human consciousness the very foundation that lie at the very heart of what gives dignity to every human being?
