A philosopher contemplates noetic objects that do not partake of the sensible realm's vicissitudes or alterations. He tries to make sense of experience and seeks truth, ultimate causes and underlying reasons for things. Some philosophers are preoccupied with being qua being; others want to know the nature or extent of knowledge. Aristotle said that wonder is the beginning of philosophy.
