On the one hand philosophy is like any other human endeavor, situated within and confined by the context of its day and and yet on the other hand, it tries to wrestle with and expand the boundaries of current thought. It is neither a science, interested in the collection and organisation of new information, nor an art, representing a reaction to the world as perceived. Philosophy, then, is an altogether unique activity.
