Hmmm, let's pick this apart:

1. the goals of philosophy are clear (since you can tell that this guy's answer is absolutely incorrect--though you have yet to mention what you believe the goals of philosophy to be) but, 2. the questions will never be answered

So you're saying philosophy leads from clear goals to unanswerable questions. Paradoxical.

Socrates said "I know that I do not know." I would recommend that you bring a similar humility to attempted definitions of philosophy.
