Sofatzis: Are there Many Philosophies or is there Just ‘Doing Philosophy’? ARE THERE MANY PHILOSOPHIES OR IS THERE JUST ‘DOING PHILOSOPHY’? Richard Sofatzis 1. Introduction ‘All men by nature desire to know.’ – Aristotle.1 Aristotle’s famous declaration of the universal pursuit of knowledge attests to the truth that knowing, thinking and philosophising are capacities that all humans hold in common.2 But is the nature of this common pursuit one of unity or plurality: are there many philosophies or is there ‘just doing philosophy’? Can both of these propositions stand simultaneously, or does admitting one exclude the other? In this essay, I will initially outline that the term philosophy can be used in various senses: firstly, corresponding to the subjective act of philosophising and, secondly, to systems of thought which are judged against an objective criterion, reality itself. Then, by acknowledging that human thinking follows common principles, we will establish that true philosophy must form a unity.

HOW I BECAME A CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHER Ralph McInerny I began graduate studies in philosophy at the University of Minnesota in the Fall quarter of 1951. My undergraduate philosophy had been done in the St. Paul Seminary where I had a number of professors who had taken their degrees at Laval University under Charles DeKoninck. In those days Laval was a redoubt of Thomism of the strict observance and my ultimate intention was to go there. But, having decided not to return to the seminary it was more immediately practical to enroll at Minnesota. Like so many decisions along the way of life, this was one made in obscurity and without any notion of its importance. But it was, I think, providential.
