Scope/Description:

Topois main assumption is that philosophy is a lively provocative delightful activity which constantly challenges our received views relentlessly questions our inherited habits painstakingly elaborates on how things could be different in other stories in counterfactual situations in alternative possible worlds. Whatever its ideology whether with the intent of uncovering a truer structure of reality or of soothing our anxiety of exposing myths or of following them through the outcome of philosophical activity is always the destabilizing unsettling generation of doubts of objections of criticisms.It follows that this activity is intrinsically a dialogue that philosophy is first and foremost philosophical discussion that it requires bringing out conflicting points of view paying careful sympathetic attention to their structure and using this dialectic to articulate ones approach to make it richer more thoughtful more open to variation and play. And it follows that the spirit which one brings to this activity must be one of tolerance of always suspecting ones own blindness and consequently looking with unbiased eye in every corner without fearing to pass a fallible judgment on what is there but also without failing to show interest and respect.
