The essay diagnoses a perceived neglect of philosophy within the domestic intellectual sphere, tracing historical periods of richer philosophical activity and surveying institutional, social, and intellectual causes for decline. It critiques the contemporary preference for empirical and practical sciences over reflective inquiry, questions commonly cited excuses, and argues for deliberate cultivation of philosophical study. The author reviews earlier movements and figures to show past receptivity, weighs external and internal obstacles, and urges renewed commitment to integrating thought with cultural and educational renewal.
