ABSTRACT
If it is true, as Aristotle said, that philosophy begins with wonder, it is also true that it ends with wonder, because the complexity of the world and of man is so great that unfathomable mysteries are always bound to remain after philosophical investigation and speculation have done their best. Each man who tries to understand, as well as he can, the universe in which he finds himself, is being to that extent a philosopher. If he is also a teacher of philosophy, that is somewhat of an accident, and it makes him no more (or less) a philosopher than he would be anyhow.
