On: A Philosophy Professor's Final Class (2023)

[theF00l]

I completely understand your point but would like to point out that quite a few philosophers were peculiar characters that did spent a lot of time outside the library too. Sometimes debating (eg Athenians), sometimes political activities (eg Sartre), some spending time on theology too (Kierkegaard, Aquinas).

I think for many philosophy was a way to understand life and the world around them.
