to grok Why

Post by Advocate »

Why questions are of two kinds;

a) How?
which is a scientific question, not a philosophical one

b)! From what intent/to what end?
which requires a pre-existing mind

But that's just a mockery of philosophy. When we are faced with 'how' questions that science can't fully answer, we resort to philosophizing.
