This text explores the relationship between philosophy and actuality, examining the criteria for selecting specific subjects of study. While philosophy can theoretically address any topic, a philosopher must focus on concrete problems, requiring proper justification. The author identifies various impulses for philosophical inquiry, including external requests, personal insight, and the need to overcome internal theoretical obstacles. However, the text warns against forced systematicity, which can lead to superficiality or the uncritical adoption of scientific data. According to the author, a rigid pursuit of a "system" often indicates a loss of contact with the current situation and the actual "hic et nunc"—the here and now. True philosophical thinking must maintain a profound understanding of the present. The text emphasizes that systematicity should not result in a loss of sensitivity to the immediate reality. Philosophy is thus presented as a dynamic process that balances methodological depth with an awareness of the present moment, avoiding the trap of mere encyclopedic knowledge.
