It's fashionable to be indifferent to other people's suffering

Courage is the enabling virtue for any philosopher - for any human being, I think, in the end. Courage to think, courage to love, courage to hope.

The evil is so ubiquitous in terms of objectification of all of us, that one can say that almost about any TV and even radio show.

I'm actually with the classics in general in terms of understanding truth in an existential mode. Therefore, philosophy becomes more a way of life as opposed to simply a mode of discourse.

You can't talk about truth unless you talk about yourself.

You must let suffering speak, if you want to hear the truth

I would want to conceive of philosophy as grounded in the very long humanist tradition that is the best of the West, which is open to the East and North and South.
