Abstract
Although there have never been so many professional philosophers
as today, most of the questions discussed by today’s philosophers are
of no interest to cultured people at large. Specifically, several scientists have
maintained that philosophy has become an irrelevant subject. Thus philosophy
is at a crossroads: either to continue on the present line, which relegates
it into irrelevance, or to analyse the reasons of the irrelevance and seek an
escape. This paper is an attempt to explore the second alternative.
