Abstract
        There is no royal road to philosophy. Thanks to Go, however, I have come to be a happy retired professor of philosophy. Go not only led me to the Socratic tradition of knowing nothing but my ignorance but also provided me with ample sources of inspiration for my philosophical journey. As a consequence, I have more difficult questions than ever. Since there is no hope for me to find answers to them shortly, I would like to present proposals to tackle them with all members of the International Society of Go Studies.

Keywords: AlphaGo, Cognition and Reasoning in Go, Explainability of AI, Philosophy of Go, Philosophy of Skills and Expertise
