Since the .issues are always so fundamental that con- clusions involve unprovable as- sumptions, each philosopher sees every other philosopher ‘as his mis- vuided enemy. Such a situation, said Mr. Fer- rator Mora, is inherent in philoso- phy, as testified by the large num- ber of definitions of philosophy in western philosophical . history. In the past, however, a_ sort of gentlemen’s agreement existed, between conflicting schools, not to argue over goals and materials. Thus philosophy was able to play the role of queen of the sciences. But then began the division which has continued to the present, ex- cept for the temporary reunifica- tion effected by Kant. Nineteenth century philosophy was in a situa- tion similar to today’s, with the exception that we no longer hope for reunion, having reached, in Mr. Ferrater Mora’s opinion, the furthest limit of anarchy in the movement. of philosophical sys- ’ tems.

The greater de- gree of internal unification and self-preservation of these two, however, he attributes to their pre- occupation with extra-philosophi- cal—for example, political and so- cial — considerations. Philosophy has thus turned from the study of great problems to a “fastidious” survey of minutiae. Contemporary philosophic literature abounds in cases, in a “return to the con- The Bryn Mawr hockey teams made a considerably better show- ing yesterday afternoon on their own field than they had the pre- vious week at Swarthmore, as the j.v.’s romped to a 4-0 win and the varsity struggled to a 1-1-tie. The improvement might have been due to the extra cheer afforded by Bryn Mawr’s wearing red tunics, since Chestnut Hill’s pale yellow ones would not afford much contrast with our usual dingy gold ones. But a more scientific: reason for the j.v.s’ success lay in the fact that they played an excellent and very fast game. A more vital rea- son was that we made four goals, two of which. were contributed. by Polly Merrill, one by Louise Mun- son, and another by Abbie Trafford in the second half. The varsity game was much less wide-open, a back-and-forth, hard- fought contest which showed spurts of really fine playing and occasionally degenerated into what looked to be athletic-style bickering.
