If you said, 'philosophy could be subjective' you could hold that position logically. But if you say it is correct or incorrect, then the subjectivity goes out the window.
If I say "word's don't have any meaning" then clearly I am completely contradicting myself. If I say "word's could have/do have meaning" then that would be logically sound, since I am not contradicting the statement.
Do you understand?
Explaining this to the 15 year old.
Philosophy is a term which covers alot of different schools dedicated to this form of humanistic siences. Just like the term medicin covers various different schools of medicin.
From the various schools of philosophy almoust every single one proposes different procederes to gain knowlege (if gaining knowlege is the goal of that school (epistomology)). I myself am an advocate of Karl Popper and his Critical Rationalism and theory of society, which is a philosophy that proposes the abolishment of all absolutes and replaces the striving for sociatial perfection with the constant reevaluation and thought over a situation.
You asshat probably dont even know what I am talking about, and you will probably ignore this post as always, especialy know that I have shoved your stinking ignorance and lack of knowlege back into your (probably) ugly face!
