If your goal is to "defend" something, you're doing it wrong. :P The point of philosophy is to ask questions and collect the answers into something that feels useful for deciding what to do with your life.

I disagree. For me, the point of philosophy is to discover what can be known. Philosophy can often be applied, but usefulness is not always a good criterion for deciding about truth. Feelings of usefulness are irrelevant by themselves.

Of course not all of them, but a significant part of what is done in philosophy only makes sense when seen in this light.
