"Between putting philosophy nowhere and putting some everywhere, isn't one passing from an extreme to the other? "
It is true that one needs philosophy to live, so that the policy is not caught with the trap politicians, art with that of the esthètes, morals with that of the moralists and the faith with that of "illuminated" (Schwärmer), such that calls them Hegel (1770-1831). However, it would matter that philosophy applies to itself the same treatment that it manages with the others, under penalty of seeing itself reproaching for having very thought except itself.
Not to have done it, this one fell, according to Nietzsche (1844-1900), in the madness of the idealism *, this inveterate platonism which consists in wanting to swallow the world by the thought, by having a thought in connection with all.
Paranoia of philosophy in general, diagnoses Freud (1856-1939). This is why Plato, the first, then a many thinkers, recalled that it was necessary to have the philosophy of its philosophy, while not philosophizing in connection with all. How to reach that point?
Can one think of not thinking without thinking?
And isn't this thought, which makes mine not be caught with its own trap, worst traps?

Smoothness, humour and innocence

The thought is such as it has states limit enabling him not to be one is delirious and to have the philosophy of its philosophy.
Pascal (1623-1662) wrote that "true philosophy makes fun of philosophy". Far from laughing at this one, he meant by there that it is necessary to distinguish the spirit from smoothness, which is without rules, of the spirit of geometry which is regulated, and this parcewhy it is important to see reality rationally, Ci it will not have there more science! things which one learns without method, by intuition, i.e. by seizure
immediate of the Whole which the things form.

Nietzsche, on its side, spoke much about innocence, this state in which one is aware of the things without being aware to be aware of it, by calculating its conscience.

Lastly,Kierkegaard (1813-1855) made humour the stage
supreme of the thought: it saw in him this state in which one is oneself, because one is able to go, of a laughter, beyond oneself.
Smoothness, innocence, humour show that there is one
thought which is not drunk.
From which does it come? Undoubtedly of us.
But also, mysteriously, of a different thought
allowing to have a distance liberator with regard to
thought. This limiting thought is essential, because it is it which makes that one can not despair of the thought, nor in
to be disgusted, and to adhere to this one, as well it is true as one
thought called with smoothness, humour and without calculation, is always accessible.
This is why Hegel indicated of a daring term: absolute Knowledge.
What did he mean by there?
Quite simply that it there has things that one knows immediately, which makes us live what is as what one is, while making us laugh at what one believed being. These certainty are undoubtedly the most invaluable things of the existence: by them, not only we are discovered, but we understand that the life is teaching.
The life is a book and it is what to philosophize teaches us.
