There is no philosophy without the art of ignoring objection

Summary

This quote suggests that in order to develop and engage in philosophical thinking, one must be capable of disregarding or setting aside objections that may arise. It implies that philosophical reflection involves focusing on ideas and concepts without being overly influenced or deterred by opposing viewpoints or arguments. This art of ignoring objections doesn't necessarily mean dismissing them entirely, but rather temporarily putting them aside to explore and delve deeper into the philosophical inquiry at hand. It highlights the need for open-mindedness and the ability to see beyond immediate challenges in order to truly delve into the depths of philosophical thought.
