About This Quote
The purpose of philosophy is to fall in love with the world, and love is simply the ability to see the world as it is. Philosophy is not just an intellectual exercise; it’s a way of life. It’s the practice of stripping off one layer after another of what we think we know about the world, and then getting down to see how it really works. To fall in love with the world, you have to get naked.
