(Philosophy is not a field of knowledge, but a mode of thinking!)
'I tend to regard philosophy not as a specialized subject but as the mode of working on a topic.
Anybody who thinks more philosophico locates positive knowledge against the background of unknowing and in the context of general concerns.
This creates an oscillation between affirmations and sceptical moments.
If this is done over a lengthy period, when we share thoughts and ideas we can see for ourselves that we have much more unknowing in common than effective knowledge.
Over time, the non-professional participants in such exercises can adopt this mode of thinking. In the process one learns how to be sure-footed on shaky ground.'
