It is said that philosophy is born from wonder, but Vito Mancuso's thesis is that it is also born from ethics. The point is that the motivation for knowledge determines the form of the knowledge acquired. Those who are guided only by personal interest generate one type of philosophy. Those who are guided by love for reality and for good generate another type of philosophy, one that truly deserves the name of sophia, wisdom. Therefore, for authentic philo-sophia, ethics comes first.
