I was challenged recently with the idea that all of our (my) questioning and truth seeking may just be an indulgence. An indulgence of humanity or of falseness I do not know.
I believe that it is not the questioning that is the indulgence - every person has the right and the ability to search for truth (and i would say the responsibility). If there is an indulgence, it is the institution of knowledge. Truth is distilled into books, into objects - the indulgence is in the idea that philosophy can ever be anything but purely subjective.
