. . . für das Fragen ist die Frömmigkeit des Denkens.
Work in Progress
A book, tentatively entitled The Silence of Plato, which will deal with, among other things, how Plato's dialogues show us why they will necessarily be misinterpreted; how the genuine philosophical spirit transformed itself into academic philosophy even in Plato's own Academy; and how either doctrinal or technical academic philosophy, though almost impossible to distinguish from genuine philosophy, is really "high-born" sophistry and not philosophy at all.
