A warlike philosopher challenges problems to single combat [Nietzsche]
     Full Idea: A warlike philosopher challenges problems to single combat.
     From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Ecce Homo [1889], Wise §7)
     A reaction: And what do pacifist philosophers do? It is a moot point whether philosophy is even possible without a streak of aggression. Otherwise you circle the problem, but don't confront it.
