WHAT IS IT THAT we want out of philosophy? In considering their discipline, whether in historical or contemporary terms, few philosophers have raised the question, other than at a perfunctory level, of what the point of philosophy is, what it sets out to achieve. Part of the problem has been that the history of philosophy has been treated as a story of progress, with Thomas Stanley, in the first history of philosophy in English (1655), describing his project as looking ‘down to the bottom from which philosophy first took her rise’, so that we might see ‘how great a progresse she hath made’.
