It's a paper in a non-reviewed journal penned by two philosophers extolling the virtues of philosophy. No discussion of any statistical treatment of the data is presented, in fact, you're left wondering what the data actually was. This is what they're fobbing off as evidence of philosophy being useful for anything? I give them an E for Effort.I withdraw my edit in that case, and go back to "might help", which as we know is the same as "might not help".
"Philosophy majors rank higher than all other majors on verbal and logical reasoning, according to our new study published in the Journal of the American Philosophical Association."
It is actually a peer reviewed journal.
That is to say peer reviewed by other philosophers.
Philosophers say that those who study philosophy are smarter than people who don't. Sounds legit.
How many philosophers can fit on the head of a pin?
