The Origin of Philosophy | September 11, 2014

The origin of philosophy is wonder. It’s a sense of being astonished, a sense of waking up to the fact that you’re here rather than not here. And I would take that also to be what the Buddha was awakened to on seeing a sick person, an old person, a corpse. 
 
- Stephen Batchelor, "Going Back to the Source"
