Introduction

Wonder is essential to philosophy.

begins with the sense that the world is not what it seems.

Plato’s cave

a cave in which we are chained to a low partition, with nothing but a flat wall in front
of us. All we can see are shadows of objects, projected on the wall by a fire behind
us.

But one day, one of the prisoners is freed, compelled to stand up, and forced to see
the reality behind the little wall. He discovers the ‘true’ objects, which none of his
companions has ever seen.

He climbs out of the cave, and discovers a light that is much stronger and much
more intense than the fire in the cave: the Sun.

he returns

Page 11

to the cave to free his former companions,

and rather than accepting the consequences of this discovery, they choose to
continue their reassuring existence.

The philosopher recognizes the world and lets it be ‘world’, by not reducing it too
quickly to something evident and reassuringly obvious.

Only in philosophy is wonder not merely the starting point, but also the guiding
principle that always keeps a firm grip on thinking.
