The foundation of any culture, the source responsible for all of its
manifestations, is its philosophy. What does modern philosophy offer us?
Virtually the only point of agreement among today’s leading philosophers is
that there is no such thing as philosophy—and that this knowledge constitutes
their claim to the title of philosophers. With a hysterical virulence, strange
in advocates of skepticism, they insist that there can be no valid
philosophical systems (i.e., there can be no integrated, consistent,
comprehensive view of existence)—that there are no answers to fundamental
questions—there is no such thing as truth—there is no such thing as reason,
and the battle is only over what should replace it: “linguistic games” or
unbridled feelings?
