First sentence: The history of philosophy seems to play a very significant role in the actual practice of philosophy; historical figures come up again and again in the courses we had take, both as undergraduates and as a graduate students, and historical figures continue to come up again and again in the papers we read, the courses we teach, the conferences we attend.
