This reflection explores the essence and primary task of philosophy within the context of human existence. The author compares philosophy to religion and science, highlighting a shared risk: the tendency of these disciplines to become self-absorbed and prioritize their own theories and products over genuine understanding. The main objective of philosophy should not be the mere accumulation of intellectual outputs, but rather a profound comprehension of the relationship between human beings and the world into which they have been placed. The text emphasizes that philosophy must take seriously its responsibility to identify both the nature and the ideal form of this relationship. This call for a return to authentic questioning regarding the meaning of human being in the world serves as a critique of academic isolationism and a reminder of the ethical and ontological dimensions of philosophical thought. The document encourages a reflection on whether contemporary thought is drifting away from its primary function in favor of the technical details of its own internal processes.
