"Despite recurring announcements, it is [...] certain that philosophy, like art, is by no means “dead.” On the contrary, it is revived every season because it corresponds to needs for meaning that are continually—and often unconsciously—reformulated. Philosophy seeks answers to these questions, whether silent or explicit, by measuring and exploring the drift, conformation, and faults of those symbolic continents on which our common thinking and feeling rest."
