..most philosophers formed the foundation of their main thoughts in their 20's...and ignited an innovative bomb to break through the status quo of intellectual territory (though these breakthroughs are often recognized only later in their lives)...then what? it seemed like most of them spent the rest of their lives refining & articulating their theories and responding to others' arguments...trying to make their theories perfectly logically sound...and less innovative progress...no more innovaitve bombs. they're on defense now.
is it a pity? are those latter works less valuable? who knows?
some bright young kid may be inspired by the summary or after thoughts in their memoirs instead of those "important works" introduced by mainstream textbooks...and that's the "time value" of ideas...
So what after the first bomb? Continue to attack & conquer the innovative front or solidify your fortress?
It doesn't matter as long as you keep your sincerity and someone out there gets inspired.
