[Serious] Generally speaking, is philosophy a worthwhile subject of study?
RE: Generally speaking, is philosophy a worthwhile subject of study?
If your wondering if you should study philosophy and where you could apply philosophy in a career then you might want Philosophy backing some other pursuit.
Having debates on whats fathomable and whats possible and what so and so said or did without direction would only get you a few job opportunities and very few half decent ones.
If you just simply want to be more enlightened then a degree or big personal study into philosophy might turn out a bit more worth while than filling you head with notions of et helping us with advancing (2 things to say about that it's doing a crap job if some et is doing that, it could be a lot more likely that some et had a dump on earth in the past 1 billion years than wanted to know us across the last 10,000 years get some scope) .
i'd Be careful though not to get too blaza corruption of incentive in man can happen in all sorts of corners of mans institutions. However It would not be wise to focus all paranoia towards a small interest group but yes having billions can equal more power and more potential for abuse. Mind you though even the most well intended gesture from the poorest of people can cause tragedy.
Yes not long after birth you may easily be guilty of negatively impacting the environment. This unlike boggie mans condemnation is a fact of life at the moment which can be greatly improved on. Learning philosophy can help ones perspective in such ways if you work with a critical but positive approach when applying philosophy.
