This philosophy is inherently moderate, and that is why it is fertile ground for planting rich conceptual crops and harvesting fascinating, original insights.
The blue collar philosopher works with his hands as well as with his head. He lives in the world of ideas, but works and earns his daily bread in the workaday world of commerce, traffic, machines, processes and physical labor.
The clash of opposing worlds constantly irritates his psyche and fancy, and this irritation is most conducive to original thinking, creative outburst, and artistic production.
For his daily operation, he commingles the activities of the scribe and academic with the plutonic, material mindset of the trader and craftsman.
