John Gray:
“…The idea that examined lives tend to be better on the
whole than others seems to me obviously false. The only benefit that philosophy
can confer is a certain kind of mental freedom – but this can’t be achieved as
long as philosophical inquiry is understood as an attempt to ground or prove
anything, and then persuade others of it. The very idea of philosophical
inquiry as a project of persuasion seems to me little more than a rationalist
version of proselytising religion. ..”
