Philosophy is a tedious, complex, boring debate, a bending of words, a pagan substitute for religion... Or, on the contrary, is it the only way to understand reality, the facilitator and guardian of faith? An interview with Thomistic philosopher Peter Dvořák on the relationship between philosophy and Christian faith and whether philosophy has anything to offer for a better life.
