Any variation, no matter how slight to old ways of thinking is considered to be a "new philosophy".

Philosophy is not discovered, it is invented.

It is a construction of the human mind, thinking about reality (all aspects: politics, science, nature, life, money, you name it), with various degrees of success.

Yes I it think it is out there.It may be closer to home.It could be deep inside of us and we would've never known because we have never looked inside ourselves.It could be in something that you've never heard of,or even something you have,but we have never looked.If you have looked in the right place, you may have been looking with your eyes half closed.

Philosphy can never be completely discovered.

It is only understood from time to time but will never be completely revealed.

that makes philosophy philosophy, the mystery of the unknown.
