[Serious] Generally speaking, is philosophy a worthwhile subject of study?

-and I respect your disagreement, and that's us doing philosophy, right there.  


Coming up with a grocery list doesn't have to involve any philosophy, but it just as easily can and often does.  I might wonder what I should buy on account of environmental impact or socioeconomic consequences, for example.  I can think of alot of thought that isn't philosophy - I think you guys touched on that pretty early in thread, too.  That won't change the fact that a large amount of what people think about is doing philosophy, or the product of it having been done and calcified into a culture and/or law - which, itself, is a long running list of philosophical positions on a great many issues specific to a given region and time.

Only because you define it as philosophy. A grocery list motivated by environmental impact or economics is philosophy belief to you, not necessarily to me. I think you believe almost everything is or can be philosophy, I (and maybe others) don't. But to continue insisting that your belief is the only correct one sounds a lot like the religious.

It sounds like philosophy. 😛
