One can do philosophy on either the academic or the amateur level. Unfortunately, neither one nor the other will solve existential problems once and for all. The article contains ten short philosophical reflections, carried out in a way that should be useful for the amateur philosopher, but with the erudite footnotes which the academic researcher of philosophy is obliged to provide. Each reflection ends with a question to which philosophy cannot find a definitive answer; this suggests that, from a pragmatic point of view, philosophizing is fruitless and pointless.
