1. Philosophy / D. Nature of Philosophy / 5. Aims of Philosophy / e. Philosophy as reason

5891	Philosophy is the collection of rational arguments [Cicero]
	Full Idea: Philosophy consists in the collection of rational arguments. [Philosophia ex rationum collatione constet]
	From: M. Tullius Cicero (Tusculan Disputations [c.44 BCE], IV.xxxviii.84)
	A reaction: A nice epigraph for this database. Philosophy is, I trust, a little more than that, because you don't just hide them away in a drawer. But if you arrange them nicely in a museum (a website, for example), not a lot more can be done.
