NewLove these excerpts:

Fri, 03/25/16

“A scientists asks why philosophy matters. The philosopher counters and asks “Why does science matter?” The scientist thinks for a moment before replying that science matters because… And here, the philosopher interrupts him and says “You’re doing philosophy.”
