In a wide variety of ways do philosophers interpret the world. Philosophy means words rather than deeds. By no means can philosophers change Nature and society. Not because they do not want to change, but they cannot. Philosophy is not science and technology, nor the productive force. Philosophy is suspicion, contemplation, reflection, and exploration.
<br>Strictly speaking, philosophy is not the interpretation of the universe, which is part of the natural science. At best, philosophers can merely interpret life, themselves and texts. Furthermore, philosophy is not knowing or the system of knowledge, nor a great set of axioms and formulas of geometry and physics, which can solve the practical survival problems. For and more, the spirit of philosophy is no other than exploration, suspicion, questioning, and meditation instead of providing the existed answers. Some philosopher secludes himself from society, standing apart from fields and workshops and even using not the astronomical telescope to observe the celestial bodies. On the contrary, he merely sits in his calm and tranquil study, reading and contemplating the most rudimentary and illusory noumenon questions. Living in solitude, the philosopher goes to great lengths to contemplate the questions left by the prominent philosophers of all ages in his study. His solitary wealth is texts; therefore, philosophy is the interpretation of the texts rather than that of the universe.
<br>The philosopher only indulges in conversing with the souls through the ages. His reading is the conversations with figures of all ages; his works are the conversations with his descendents; his speeches are the conversations with multitudinous students; his contemplation is the conversations with himself. He, good at discerning, discerns the future. He, versed in fancying, fancies the infinite. He, intoxicated with reverie, daydreams a journey to the other world. He, full of solicitudes, is solicitous of the immortal. He holds conversations with the philosophers and spirits who are at the remotest corners of the world. In this sense, he is a man full of supernatural vision and exceptional thought. He is great and immortal, for he dialogues with the souls of all ages.
<br>Men who are predestined for philosophy should prepare for a solitary walk on a rugged and uneven narrow road, expecting no aim or rolling gold. Bidding a farewell to fresh flowers, titles, applauses and trophies and immersed in contemplation, one will come to understand the gist of philosophy.
