Philosophy seems to be caught in a quagmire. In the world of philosophy, everything is contested. What seemed certain then becomes fraught with doubt. No answers seem available, only questions. No sure place to plant our feet but only mere possibilities. Yet we can’t seem to stop wondering about things since it is in our nature to wonder.

Perhaps they provide a defence and others may rally to their side, in what feels like an increasingly technical war of words.
