I’m a Philosopher. We Can’t Think Our Way Out of this Mess.
I’m throwing in my lot with the poets and painters, the novelists and songwriters.
It’s not that I’ve given up on truth. It’s just that I’m less confident we’ll think our way out of the morass and malaise in which we find ourselves. Analysis won’t save us.
