Touché

"...But if one fears or despises so much the philosophical foundations of a book, and if one demands so insistently the right to understand nothing about them and to say nothing on the subject, why become critic?  To understand, to enlighten, that is your profession, isn't it?  You can of course judge philosophy according to common sense; the trouble is that while 'common sense' and 'feeling' understand nothing about philosophy, philosophy, on the other hand, understands them perfectly.  You don't explain philosophers, but they explain you."

Roland Barthes, Mythologies
