Sometimes a sentence can be understood only if it is read at the right tempo. My sentences are all supposed to be read slowly. Philosophy is not one of the natural sciences.
Philosophy aims at the logical clarification of thoughts.
Philosophy is not a body of doctrine but an activity. A philosophical work consists essentially of elucidations. I ought to be no more than a mirror in which my reader can see his own thinking with all its deformities so that, helped in this way, he can put it right. The sickness of a time is cured by an alteration in the mode of life of human beings, and it was possible for the sickness of philosophical problems to get cured only through a changed mode of thought and of life, not through a medicine invented by an individual. Think of the use of the motor-car producing or encouraging certain sicknesses, and mankind being plagued by such sickness until, from some cause or other, as the result of some development or other, it abandons the habit of driving.
