4 AnswersPhilosophy9 months agoWhy do subjective philosophers believe in their closed type "love of wisdom" but find it hard to believe in any knowledge^ within any ?
philosophy or any philosophy Category^ ?
They chase-fame (their-love-of-wisdom) but DO NOT contribute to it...
Do they hate free and open critical philosophy that much, giving
even more blatant "spin" when they murmur that philosophy uses
"THE critical Method" ? (as general SPIN & BLUFF).. ?
Is this why they here CANNOT WRITE ABOUT and give philosophy

3 AnswersPhilosophy9 months agoWhat is the one Question here a philosopher has difficulty answering? (a subjective philosopher).?
Is "Intelligent Design" philosophy plump in open possibilities much more
so than Scientific (Darwinian) biological Selection?
6 AnswersPhilosophy10 months agoIn philosophy can present "knowledge selection" be replaced by better "knowledge design" ?
E.g Present Darwinian selection versus Intelligent design?
See the Q. What are the two types of philosophy mistakes... ? third update
where the-sample-category of MATHEMATICS CAN BE SUB-DIVIDED from
old "selection" into new "design" mode.
E.g. Y. Zhang's finite-bound-proof (selection) from Twin prime conjecture(design).
(Zhang's proof weaker than the Twin prime intelligent conjecture, so to speak.
Weak proofs and strong conjectures can be the preserve of philosophy which
may select strong resilient knowledge over/ from weaker information).

1 AnswerPhilosophy10 months agoHow can & do we lose purpose while doing philosophy?
Initially subjective philosophy ?
This is a valid question using modern biology science, where science can
further our understanding of both a mistake-in-philosophy and a success-
in-philosophy. See Youtube Stanford science lecture "Introduction to Human
Behavioural Biology" with Robert Sapolsky.
If you cannot figure why we can-lose-purpose, and to describe how to spot
the tell-tale signs where the losing of a Purpose or of an Aim means that
ones work flounders in-the-philosophy method taught...
Reading down in the comments to this lecture where in comment 12 down
it's said "When you pay too much attention to boundaries, you don't see the
big picture. All you see are categories."
And, "There's a corollary to that, When you pay too LITTLE to boundaries
you lose yourself in the big picture. YOU LOSE PURPOSE."

Religion & Spirituality11 months agoCan philosophy respect be earned by having an open, mistake ridden history ?
Unlike the philosophy for example of Yuval Noah Harari ?
1) That we don't have freewill, (we do).
2) That if we learn HOW to deal with failure we can learn-from-our mistakes.
2) We here especially more from our Answers than from our Questions asked,
we may believe.
That is we can learn more about our failures and mistakes, revising these
over time to ask more pertinent Questions. And some religious philosophers
commentators have taken this-to-the-extreme in that they have answered many
more questions than they have asked... to the point where some have asked
Zero Questions. They are "answer rich" so to speak, and continue to
answer questions without adding-to-their meagre total of unknown (Question)
knowledge.
We may say of such religious philosophers that like Harari they have learned
HOW to deal with failure as they have learned-from-their mistakes.
And Harari may have more Questions to ask (especially so if he were here
on Yahoo Answers) but DO THOSE religious philosophers above WHO
HAVE answered many more questions here than they have asked questions?
I have previously said that "no" because they may Have learned HOW to
deal with their failures but that they HAVE NOT LEARNED FROM THEIR
Mistakes.
Like I propose Yuval Noah Harari has not learned-from-his-mistake
concerning freewill ; and the resultant Almost self-perpetuating
