The main occupation, one might almost say obsession, of most modern philosophy is with knowledge. That hybrid epistomology, the child of logic and psychology, occupies most of the thoughts of our modern philosophers.‘What does it mean?”, “how can I know?”. These are the questions which are considered to be of fundamental importance. Surely this is a wrong evaluation. The essential and fundamental problem is with the one who knows; with man himself. “Man is the key to the mystery of knowledge and existence.” Yet we are told that questions which concern the nature and destiny of man are “meaningless”; or else the answers given are the expression of a social background, or a “complex”. The only business of a philosopher is analysis; not the analysis of man’s problems, but of man’s propositions. The philosophy which results from this attitude has three main characteristics.
