Being human, having a highly developed brain and nervous system, man must think; and thinking is the pathway to philosophy. The world in which we live keeps challenging us with problems to be solved, demanding that we act wisely or be destroyed by the forces which inhabit our world..But we cannot rest contented with a mass of unrelated experiences scattered at random throughout life. We must take our experiences and weave them in to some kind of a pattern, a whole which is more or less satisfying. This pattern, this whole is the aim of philosophy- understanding the meaning of life which the world has for us.
