PHILOSOPHY. MY PHILOSOPHY: I HAVE ALWAYS DECLINED the request to
expound my philosophy shortly in a popular way, partly because
philosophy, like any other work of man, can only be really
understood by those who are of the trade, and partly because this
possessive my has a bad sound. Any craftsman who takes up the job
which a fellow-worker or pre decessor has dropped, and carries it
on towards perfection does not call it his but our work. But I have
now reached the age when, as Giovanni Prati wrote, there rises in
the heart the sadness of the days that are no more. It was his
fortune to know sadness but not, as we do, to despair in the
encircling gloom of slaughter and destruction of all that we held
dear or sacred. I have reached the age when a mans life seems a
past that he can survey at a single glance, and when he himself
takes his place in history, or to put it more plainly, he looks at
himself as if he were dead. That is why I am now willing to comply
briefly, so far as is modest and reasonable, with the request.
Consistently with my simile of a craft as always a matter of colla
boration, we must get rid of the pretence or illusion that a philo
sophers work or system is a self-completed revelation of the
so-called mystery of reality...
