Embracing Ignorance – Why philosophize?

Philosophy, unshackled from the pursuit of wisdom or prescriptive knowledge,
neither unveils truths nor prescribes conduct.

It’s a tireless quest, pondering its essence and existence in a tranquil solitude that disrupts none.
In its most optimistic moments, it might birth notions useful for wealth creation, dreams of alternative societies, or the consoling opium of metaphysics.

As Lyotard states, embracing ignorance is far from simple;

we cannot tranquilize ourselves with a wordless reality, a perfect abundance, or dreamless nights. Hence, we’re drawn to philosophy, compelled to ‘attest to the presence of lack through our speech’—acknowledging an inherent void we cannot escape.

Lack of knowledge doesn’t reflect inadequacy.
Embrace the unknown without fear; it’s a pathway to heighten
happiness and productivity across all facets of your life.
