The Lost Tribe.

Philosophers excel at Introspection.
They are the epitomes of serenity and thoughtfulness, bested only by the god men.
Raising questions that concern the heart of hearts and the soul of souls of the human race is their specialty. Raising questions the commoners deem, a waste of valuable time.
The world has evolved.
The race of the Philosophers, thinned.
Scorned upon.
Though it is not so now, the literature of the old era was peppered with philosophical extracts.
Was Shakespeare not one such individual, who, in the middle of a concrete story, posed such queries, that are still debated over by the sparse remnants of the philosophical community ?

Shakespeare was a gem, even among philosophers.
You see, philosophers generally ponder over numerous questions, but voice only those, that they are certain to have an answer to.
But the master of playacting was an exception.
He raised questions that were answered by himself. True. But he also left space for doubt. He granted his readers, the freedom of answering these questions in their own way.
He encouraged deeper, more meaningful thought.
