To understand how indirect communication is possible we must grasp wha — David Wood (philosopher)

"Language steps in where the angels of experience fear to tread."

"Nietzsche would say my friends lacked ears."

"Like literature, philosophy is not distinguished from other subjects by a specific approach to a subject-matter independent of it. Chemistry deals with chemicals, biology with life and astronomy with very large, very distant objects. Philosophy can boast no such definite subject-matter."

"Philosophy in its very act is a process of translation!"

"To recognize a difficulty is not to solve it."

"After Hegel, philosophy confronts the possibility of its own death, and in some sense has to do so if it is to remain the most fundamental kind of thinking."
