In the opening words to the preface of the first edition of Critique of Pure Reason, Kant says that our reason burdens us with questions we cannot ignore, but questions we also cannot answer. That's pretty much Philosophy, isn't it? It's got us thinking about those big questions of the universe beyond the reaches of our ability to know the answers with any kind of certainty. Does Philosophy help us better understand the world? Do we think better after studying Philosophy? Did you ever find yours …
