is not the ability to address issues that decide the idiosyncratic philosophy of a person or culture, but the ability to raise issues and to strive to meet them. Someone with an enormous talent for solving philosophical problems would not ever be a philosopher, small or great, if not raised from his intimacy issues and get involved emotionally in their solution. But who has not been raised at some point in their life questions such as what the world is, what is the truth, we can prove the truth of any theory, there is scientific progress and moral progress? All or almost all we have ever raised this kind of philosophical questions, yet few can claim to be philosophers.
And the philosopher, if you want to shed some light on such issues must tackle other issues more specific and secondary, but equally relevant. In effect, then decides to enter in the works of the greatest philosophers, confident that they will solve those fundamental problems that originally raised, inevitably ensues new questions such as what is meant by the term Parmenides 'being'?, " what it means to falsify a theory?, how does that reality speaking metahistorical of Marxists in the story?, his detractors are they right? ... The task is not trivial, since it involves opening up the texts and ideas, propositions and arguments, Popper world that defines how the world three and represents Borges a book that has no beginning or end. Supposes an openness to philosophy.
