It may be that as regards the possible answers to these questions, the pros and cons will always be in a more or less even balance, and therefore that philosophy will never go beyond the stage of discussion or disputation and will never reach the stage of decision. This would not make philosophy futile. For the clear grasp of a fundamental question requires understanding of the nature of the subject matter with which the question is concerned. Genuine knowledge of a fundamental question, thorough understanding of it, is better than blindness to it, or indifference to it, be that indifference or <\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">blindness accompanied by knowledge <\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">of the answers to a vast number of peripheral or ephemeral questions or not. <\/span><em><span lang=\"en-GB\">Minimum quod potest hab<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">\u0113<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">r<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">\u012b <\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">d<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">\u0113 <\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">cogniti<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">\u014d<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">ne <\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">r<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">\u0113<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">rum altissim<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">\u0101<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">rum, d<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">\u0113<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">s<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">\u012b<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">der<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">\u0101<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">bilius est quam certissima cogniti<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">\u014d <\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">quae hab<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">\u0113<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">tur d<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">\u0113 <\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">minim<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">\u012b<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">s r<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">\u0113<\/span><\/em><span lang=\"en-GB\"><em>bus<\/em> (Thomas Aquinas,<em> Summa Theologica<\/em>, I, qu.
