Each system—Platonism, empiricism, existentialism—is a construction, beautiful and useful, but none escapes the sandbox. Philosophical Sandboxism doesn't despair at this but celebrates it: the sandbox is big enough for infinite castles, and the play is in the building, not in finding the One True Castle that will last forever.
