Philosophy? One, undisciplined, without art or share

Le Regard Libre N° 49 - Giovanni F. Ryffel

In the age of the triumph of technology, we love specialization. Happiness can almost be equated with being the only expert in a discipline, even if it's the Rubik's Cube. In this context, philosophy seems to be at a loss: the discipline that used to teach how to ask questions about all other disciplines, is it now nothing more than a vague discourse on a little bit of everything and, ultimately, a little bit of nothing? Should it then betray its original vocation and become just another specialized discipline, as is already the case in many universities?

These questions are important for anyone interested in the current state of our civilization, since philosophy has been at its heart for centuries. By comparison, knowing what state our constant heart is in is not.
