philosophy is inescapable even if it sometimes seems impossible.

哲学不可避免也无从避免
We began with the thought of Kant,

我们从康德的思想讲起
that skepticism is a resting place for human reason.

怀疑论是人类理性暂时休憩的场所
Where it can reflect upon its dogmatic wanderings,

是理性自省以伺将来做出正确抉择的地方
but it is no dwelling place for permanent settlement.

但绝非理性的永久定居地
To allow ourselves simply to acquiescence in skepticism of in complacence,

简单地默许于怀疑论
Kant wrote, can never suffice to overcome the restlessness of reason.

康德认为永远无法平息内心渴望理性思考之不安
The aim of this course has been to awaken

这门课的目的是唤醒
the restlessness of reason

理性思考之不安
and to see where it might lead.

看它能把我们带向何方
And if we had done at least that,

如果我们至少做到了这一点
and if the restlessness continues to afflict you

在之后的日子之后的岁月里
