Rogelio,

You raise excellent points. You’re very bright and well-read. Every thinker, like other fields hits a plateau. The key to breaking through into the next higher level, is going deeper. I struggled mightily in analysis within my field until I went far deeper. Every generation of thinker that studies what came before, benefits from their predecessors. Understanding how WW I to WW II philosophers arrived at their beliefs is often as important as what they publish.

Just my two cents.

Thanks for the insightful and thought-provoking ideas.
