Need for everyday philosophy

Eugene August 22, 2020 at 18:42 1050 views 2 comments
Greetings.
In the past philosophical studies helped people to understand how to behave in different situations, how to perceive the life and overcome some obstacles. But now everything seems too easy. Every need can be satisfied without any hesitation and trouble.
So tell it please, is there any room for philosophy nowadays or all has been already discussed? Who are they, the thinkers of the XXI cent?

Not quite every need, I still have to work to eat.

Nowadays, philosophy seems to be used so as to appear as a certain kind of personality in public or to one's own self as opposed to being used as a mantra of life. We are "thinkers" but that's all we are. That's where it seems to end without any practical use or application of those thoughts.
