Philosophy es un autorretrato al óleo sobre lienzo de Salvator Rosa, el artista barroco italiano mejor conocido por sus paisajes imaginarios. La pintura suele interpretarse como una personificación de la filosofía. Está fechada circa 1645 y ha sido conservada por la National Gallery in London desde 1933.
“Philosophy … consists chiefly in suggesting unintelligible answers to insoluble problems.”
“To theology, … only what it holds sacred is true, whereas to philosophy, only what holds true is sacred.”
“Philosophy is life's dry-nurse, who can take care of us -- but not suckle us.”
“Se moquer de la philosophie c’est vraiment philosophe.”
“Über keinen Gegenstand philosophieren sie seltner als über die Philosophie.”
“When we see a woman bartering beauty for gold, we look upon such a one as no other than a common prostitute; but she who rewards the passion of some worthy youth with it, gains at the same time our approbation and esteem. It is the very same with philosophy: he who sets it forth for public sale, to be disposed of to the highest bidder, is a sophist, a public prostitute.”
