Berkeley's argument for the existence of God
RE: Berkeley's argument for the existence of God
(March 30, 2018 at 12:39 pm)FlatAssembler Wrote: The illusion that philosophy is useless is created by the fact that, when philosophy succeeds at explaining something, it starts to be called science. Galileo almost certainly wouldn't have come up with his ideas if he hadn't read the Aristotle's natural philosophy.

Yeah but in modern times, what does philosophy ever explain which then becomes a science? Not disputing that has this happened in the past. After all, even today any progress in the field of Artificial Intelligence becomes a field in its own right. But whenever people defend philosophy in this way they almost always refer to achievements several hundred years ago.
