' The Primary Use of Philosophy '...
The primary use of philosophy is not to console the suffering and give refuge to the unhappy.
Religion can do that.
People ought not come to it because they are tired of life and joyless.
They should come because it can inspire their life and because they appreciate the beauty of its silent contemplations,
the truth of its sublime ideas.
