K: As a philosopher, what important sensemaking questions of being do you ask yourself that help you in soul-searching and moving forward?
I: One of them is the so-called problem of universals, which asks whether there are absolute universals that are above things. This can be reduced to the question of the relation of things to Platonic ideas. There is the position that the universals are objective and they really exist, and there is the position that they don't exist and all the words we use to denote things we come up with afterwards, and there is the position that they exist and, pushing back from that, from the world of spirit, we come up with words. I think this is an important and one of the central questions of the whole history of philosophy. All questions about language also rest here, issues about narrative also in many ways.
Of course, another key question for man is the question of death. On the one hand, this is possible, but on the other hand it is not, because the subject is unable to experience his own death. Plato says in the mouth of Socrates: why should I care about death, because when I am alive - there is no death, and when there is death, I am not there. So the question of how we can experience death is also a rather difficult one, which in existential philosophy is probably the key point of experience and experience that pushes you to look at the world from a new angle.
