| Does life have meaning? Are there objective ethical truths? Do we have free will? What is the nature of our identity as selves? Must our knowledge and understanding stay within fixed limits? These questions moved me, and others, to enter the study of philosophy. I care what their answers are. While such other philosophical intricacies as whether sets or numbers exist can be fun for a time, they do not make us tremble. |

| 人生有意義嗎？有客觀的倫理事實嗎？我們的意志自由嗎？甚麼是我們自我身分的本質？我們的知識及理解必須停留在一個固定的界限裏嗎？這些問題鼓動了我及其 他人進入哲學的研究。我關心這些問題的答案是甚麼。有一些艱難的哲學問題，諸如：數學中的集或數字是否真的存在？可能在一段時間裏會顯得很有趣，卻不會使 我們顫抖。 |
