On Philosophy and Philosophers II

"...as Cleanthes used to say, that what philosophers say may be contrary to expectation, but not to reason." --Epictetus.

On Philosophy and Philosophers I

"Philosophy lacks the advantage, which the other sciences enjoy, of being able to presuppose its objects as given immediately by representation. And, with regard to its beginning and advance, it cannot presuppose the method of cognition as one that is already accepted."--Hegel

"The philosopher and philosophy can do nothing by themselves, but what can we do without them?"--Henri Lefebvre, from The Urban Revolution (2003).
