Philosophy grew in me through my finding myself in the midst of life itself.
Philosophical thought is practical activity , although a unique kind of activity.
P hilosophical meditation is an accomplishment by which I attain Being and my own self, not impartial thinking which studies the subject with indifference. To be a mere onlooker were vain. P hilosophy as practice does not mean its restriction to utility or applicability, that is, to what server morality or produces serenity of soul. The process, in which knowledge is employed as a means of thinking out the possibilities that bear upon a finite objective, is a technical, not a philosophical, activity. Philosophizing is the activity of though itself, by which the essence of man, in its entirety, is realized in the individual man.
