RE: Non Sequitur
You have the same regard for philosophy as I do.

Never trust an atom..........They make up everything.
 Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get...unless of course you look in the lid where each type of chocolate is described in detail. Life is almost completely unlike a box of chocolates..... |

It was the only game in town for a long while. Credit where credit is due. That being said, we have more refined tools for specific jobs nowadays eh.

RE: Non Sequitur
I like philosophy, but regardless of what one thinks, a degree in philosophy is only worth the paper it's printed on.

Man is not so much a rational animal as a rationalising one.

RE: Non Sequitur
I've never agreed with the use of philosophy for arguing about the existence of gods as practical. As Min has stated it is nothing more than mental masturbation at best. I love classical philosophy and their many and sometimes humorous reflections about life and our place in it, but once they extend that to religion I switch to "not this bullshit again" mode. LOL

I got an undergraduate degree in philosophy, and found that it prepared me very well for law school. Any course of study which teaches critical thinking and writing skills is useful, imo. |

Perhaps, but writing skills I got from English, Creative Writing, and Literature 101 & 102. As for critical thinking, I've been doing that my whole life and some would argue (and I know several people who agree with me) that philosophy isn't meant for critical thinking, it is meant for conjecture only. Philosophy doesn't solve, it only analyzes. However, I don't really care all that much - just playing Devil's advocate.
