Philippe Huneman Why?
the philosophy behind the question
"Why did triceratops have horns? Why did World War I occur? Why does Romeo love Juliet? And, most importantly, why ask why? Through an analysis of these questions and others, philosopher Philippe Huneman describes the different meanings of "why," and how those meanings can, and should (or should not), be conflated.

Gianni Vattimo Of reality
the purpose of philosophy
