That being understood?
By philosophy is usually meant our most general account of the nature of the world and of mankind's place and destiny in it-our world outlook.
That being understood, it is evident that everybody has some kind of philosophy, even though he has never learned to discuss it. Everybody is influenced by philosophical views, even though he has not thought them out for himself and cannot formulate them.
[Maurice Cornforth, Materialism and Dialectical method]
I have some questions to ask
1. Is the word by mean "because"?
2. What does "That being understood" mean? Does it mean that: "It could be understood like this"?
3. Does "thought out" in the context mean "consider" or "invent"?
4. "For himself" versus "by himself". What is the difference?
Thanks!
