I like reading both old and new philosophy, because I feel philosophy tends to explore ideas with less bias and polarity. The point isn't to be "right" as much as it is to think and explore. For example, one philosopher can ask "Why shouldn't we eat babies," without other philosophers engaging in political demonstrations, leaflet campaigns, and anti-baby-eating benefit concerts. The goal isn't to leave the philosophy meeting and find a baby to eat, but rather to explore the topic intellectually.
