Philipp W. Rosemann concludes the volume with the question best asked at the end of this literary seminar, "What is Philosophy "Although there are philosophers within the analytic and continental schools who are committed to the history of philosophy, Mystery and Intelligibility demonstrates that history of philosophy as a third and distinct philosophical method is revelatory of the nature and structure of reality.…
