1. Philosophy / D. Nature of Philosophy / 7. Despair over Philosophy

16227	Philosophers are good at denying the obvious [Hawley]
	Full Idea: Philosophers are skilled at resisting even the most inviting thoughts.
	From: Katherine Hawley (How Things Persist [2001], 5)
	A reaction: Not exactly 'despair', but it does show how far philosophers are able to stray from common sense. Monads, real possible worlds, real sets… Thomas Reid, the philosopher of common sense, might be the antidote.
