What's the point of philosophy any more?
#55
RE: What's the point of philosophy any more?
A list of dogma asserted would still be asserted dogma even if it managed, or happened... to get something right.

Can you appreciate, at least, that the thrust of philosophy halts as soon as something is taken to be incontrovertibly true, and that we have..based upon our understanding of many given x's in the past...done precisely that. Halted that work, asserted x to be incontrovertibly true, deriding any counter-position? Let's take an example we both agree on. We're both atheists. Goddism was the majority position of philosophy for centuries. Incontrovertably true as demonstrated by logical demonstration after logical demonstration after logical demonstration. Emperically verified by every miraculous this or that.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
