"If one studies the work of say a philosopher,the first question one ask onself is : 'What problem is he trying to solve?' In my experience most students of philosophy are not taught to ask, and do not think to ask themselves, this question. Rather they ask: 'what is he trying to say?' As a result they commonly have the experience of thinking they understand what he is saying without seeing the point of why he is saying it. For by only understandin his problem-situation could the do that.
