Introduction

A philosopher is a sort of intellectual yoke who gocks at things sensible people take for granted, he says. The moment my mouth opens to utter it, I suddenly find I'm talking nonsense, writes the author. But on the other hand, if you think about that for a few minutes, I am absolutely amazed to discover myself on this rock ball,. rotating around a spherical fire. It's a very odd situation. And the more I look at things, I cannot get rid of the feeling that existence is quite weird.
