    Philosophical inquiry cannot advance from the attitude in which everyday thinking operates‚ but may proceed only from wonder‚ a kind of self-reflecting receptivity to the mystery of being.1 Wonder is something separate from disinterested curiosity‚ something apart from bewilderment before the new or very complicated.2 Man wonders at himself and God and time and death and other obvious things.
