-
why did these arguments keep going even if they raise questions
-
that are impossible ever, finally, to resolve?
-
The reason is that we live some answer
-
to these questions all the time.
-
In our public life, and in our personal lives,
-
philosophy is inescapable even if it sometimes seems impossible.
-
We began with the thought of Kant,
-
that skepticism is a resting place for human reason.
-
Where it can reflect upon its dogmatic wanderings,
-
but it is no dwelling place for permanent settlement.
-
To allow ourselves simply to acquiescence in skepticism of in complacence,
-
Kant wrote, can never suffice to overcome the restlessness of reason.
