"The Problem of Philosophical Deflection": An Essay by Kate Warlow-Corcoran (Keywords: Embodiment; Grief; Metaphilosophy; Iris Murdoch; Cora Diamond; J.M. Coetzee)
Briefly

"Philosophy is an attempt to make the best sense of our life, and so of our intellectual activities, in the situation in which we find ourselves."
"At its best, philosophy ought to help us to make sense of anxiety-inducing moments—not by presenting an illusory picture of transcendent knowledge, but by adequately representing the richness, complexity and unpredictability of human experience."
