Space inbetween
There has to be a space between all these cultural forces – fiction, politics, religion, science, society, morality.
Philosophy might be in that space, but if it is, it is not making much of its position. It must be decades at least since a living philosopher changed the way someone led their life.
Waylaid by the comparison with science and the form of the academic paper, philosophy has become lost, perhaps impossibly sidetracked.
Maybe it was never there. Maybe it was always a clique, talking to its own navel. Occasionally thoughts escaped.
Whatever the case, the world needs creative abstract thinking.
