Abstract
To philosophize is to strive to articulate and develop the nature of human being. It is to say I am living in circumstances which surround me. I am aware of wonders which call for my free response. Who am I, and why am I here? Who can I become? What does this mean? I try to discern myself, and of course am at once aware that I would not be myself unless I wanted to be more than I am or could be, and know more than I can know.
