Josef Pieper Quotes:

Ocupation: Philosopher

Life: May 4, 1904 - November 6, 1997

Birthday: May 4

Death: November 6

The delight we take in our senses is an implicit desire to know the ultimate reason for things, the highest cause. The desire for wisdom that philosophy etymologically is is a desire for the highest or divine causes. Philosophy culminates in theology. All other knowledge contains the seeds of contemplation of the divine.
