Philosophy is the one thing that everyone in the world does, according to retired Midwestern State University philosophy professor Dr. Alfred D. Stewart.

“Philosophy isn’t something we learn, it’s something we do, and we do it all the time. We may not be very good at it, but we all have philosophies that organize our lives,” he said.

“To study it is to learn how human beings got to be the way they are,” he said.

...

The difficulty of philosophy texts is often overrated, he said, though Kant can be difficult to understand and “Heidegger is impossible,” he joked.

“Even the people that bore you in philosophy, you have to read them,” he said. “It all works together.”
