1. Philosophy / C. History of Philosophy / 1. History of Philosophy

19579	The history of philosophy is just experiments in how to do philosophy [Novalis]
	Full Idea: The history of philosophy up to now is nothing but a history of attempts to discover how to do philosophy.
	From: Novalis (Logological Fragments I [1798], 01)
	A reaction: I take post-Fregean analytic metaphysics to be another experiment in how to do philosophy. I suspect that the experiment of Husserl, Heidegger, Derrida etc has been a failure.
