Ed Feser's Aristotelian Proof of the Existence of God

[bennyboy]

To me the question is not whether it, philosophy, makes living easier; but rather whether it makes it better. Like art and music, even games and jokes, I think the a rich contemplative life makes living more interesting and engaging.

Yes, I think so, too.

I might go back on my previous going back, and redefine the importance of questions: that the enjoyment of the faculty of thinking is, at least for people in good circumstances, more important than questions about genetic fitness. There are very few things I could think about which will seriously affect my ability to reproduce (already done), make money (self-employed), survive (live in a safe area), or raise my children (they are already smarter than I am, and one's only 4).
