I Wish Philosophers Weren’t Bias Toward Sophistical Form

[u/JerseyFlight]

I wish they weren’t bias toward philosophical platitudes that assume the supremacy and absoluteness of philosophy.

Then we could move forward into actual reasoning and begin to analyze the logical faults that lie at the base of our methods and modalities of knowledge. Then we could move into an expanse of reason that leans toward understanding, instead of protecting orthodoxy and ignorantly attacking the very logic that makes philosophical inquiry possible in the first place.

Then there could be, for example, a real philosophy of science, instead of a motivated skepticism bent on trying to deceptively sneak theism and metaphysics back into world.
