Quote of the day from David Haines: The point of philosophy is not to undermine our pre-theoretical beliefs, but to help us make sense of them. Philosophy gives us deeper insight into why our ordinary beliefs are true. Our ordinary beliefs about the world thus become a starting-point of philosophical activity which may be modified but which can never be completely abandoned. - Jonathan Lear, Aristotle: the desire to understand, p. 56
