Melhor citação de Filosofia: l'arte di accorgersi dell'acqua con David Foster Wallace
La filosofia non serve a costruire ponti come l'ingegneria, ma serve a capire perché vogliamo costruire quei ponti; è l'unico strumento che abbiamo per smettere di essere passivi rispetto a quello che pensiamo.

La metafora citata da Lena e Miles descrive due pesci che non sanno cosa sia l'acqua nonostante vi siano immersi. David Foster Wallace la utilizza per spiegare come la realtà più ovvia e importante sia spesso la più difficile da vedere. Fare filosofia significa proprio imparare ad accorgersi di quell'acqua, ovvero delle idee e dei valori che diamo per scontati nella nostra vita quotidiana.
Secondo Miles, la filosofia è l'unico strumento che abbiamo per smettere di essere passivi rispetto ai nostri pensieri. Spesso assorbiamo meccanicamente opinioni e pregiudizi dall'ambiente circostante, proprio come un allenatore di calcio segue una sua visione del gioco senza metterla in discussione. La vera filosofia inizia quando iniziamo a interrogarci attivamente su queste basi, trasformando le opinioni passive in consapevolezza critica.
Lena chiarisce che, nonostante sia spesso percepita come una materia polverosa da liceo, la filosofia è in realtà una pratica quotidiana. Chiedersi 'cos'è l'acqua' significa iniziare a fare filosofia nel presente. Non si tratta di una rassegna di opinioni strampalate su temi irrisolvibili, ma di un esercizio di consapevolezza necessario per comprendere la realtà che abbiamo sempre sotto il naso e che spesso ignoriamo.
