Philosophy and the Gray area

As everything is coming to an end and everyone gets summer break fever, I must say that I have enjoyed this class. After finishing this book,  I have come to the same realizations and points that I have come to near the end of every philosophy class.  We study these theories, old and current and we can extract from it what we want. The underlying concept however, is always going to be the same. Philosophy isn't black or white, even though many philosophers want to think so. The arguments that are usually made, reviewed, scrutinized, studied and contemplated are biased and extreme. The book that we have recently finished reading in class is a perfect example. There are three main characters discussing the letter of a fourth character. One is an extreme constructivist, the other an extreme realist and the last one the balance between the two. The book Bridges to the world didn't only serve as a philosophy book for me, it served as a book that, as an English major, I can decipher plot and characterization. From the beginning it is obvious that Allison is the mediator between Russell ans Hans; and by the end she herself figures that she is needed to keep both philosophers balanced. She introduces the notion of constructive realism which combines the two extreme foundational arguments of the book. This book has highlighted how I feel about philosophy. Philosophy is gray matter. There is no right or wrong. There are always going to be strong arguments and interesting points that seems to be the "truth," but what it all boils down to is that philosophy is something that should always have a balance. With that said, What do you think of philosophy?
