I propose that philosophy simply puts everything before us, and neither explains nor deduces anything. Since everything lies open to view there is nothing to explain. For what is hidden, for example, is of no interest to us.
One might also give the name "philosophy" to what is possible before all new discoveries and inventions.
The work of the philosopher consists in assembling reminders for a particular purpose.
If one tried to advance theses in philosophy, it would never be possible to debate them, because everyone would agree to them.
