What's the point of philosophy any more?

RE: What's the point of philosophy any more?
And Khem, the crux of the worst part of it all... is by suggesting that absolute certainty is dogmatic regardless of reason you act as if reason doesn't matter in this case.

Which is ironically dogmatic on your part.

No dictionaries required.... in fact, people and sentient beings don't have to exist. Whatever a thing is it still is whatever it is. And English humans don't have to exist to write the words "a square object has four sides" to make square objects have four sides regardless of the existence of English humans.

Again, you don't understand my position.
