If philosophy had a purpose of its own, I fear the world would get a lot warmer from all the hot air everyone would be blowing. Aristophanes had a great quote that said of Socrates, “I tread the air and contemplate the sun.” Jonathan Swift in Gulliver's Travels said that the preoccupation of one scientist/philosopher at the academy was to, “extract sunlight from cucumbers.” Truly, philosophy is a noble profession.

But self assumed axiomatic expressions tend to clog the airways at times. But I think philosophy comes at all stages. I don’t think people have the attention span in particular to develop a philosophy or aggregate it at one particular moment and carry it through to the end.
