Furthermore, just as we're reasonably adverse to following teachings of goat herders in a modern era, the same principle can be applied to a philosophy that has not evolved.
That's not philosophy, that's _a_ philosophy. Those aren't the same thing. You're using the word in two different senses as if they were the same. They're not.
