What is philosophy? That’s a good question, not because there’s no answer, but because
what’s involved in posing it points up something essential to philosophy.
In the Treatise on the Emendation of the Intellect, Spinoza sets out what’s required by a
definition. A circle, a typical definition might run, is a figure in which all lines drawn from the center to the circumference are equal. The problem with this definition, what makes it merely verbal, is that it defines a circle by way of one of its properties, not by way of its essence.
