More precisely than saying that [the goal of] philosophy is correct simplification:
[The goal of] Philosophy is simplification without [any] loss of meaning.
- This is uncompromising, as opposed to abstraction/thought that is performed in the service of practical goals, which accepts some loss of meaning in exchange for expedience, i.e. to be useful for the purposes of ordinary science problems* or practical problems, abstract thought has to fit both into time-constraints and into the worldview/reality/ideology in which the problems exist/are formulated.
*as opposed to revolutionary phases of science in the sense of Kuhn and co.
