- commentzorro 11y ago> "logic without evidence" When I was in school we called these people "philosophy majors." ;-)
- omginternets 11y agoI know you're saying this in jest, but a good philosopher will account for empirical knowledge in his arguments, when it exists. I know it's cool to rip on philosophers, but they're incredibly useful to the sciences: they're usually the first ones to point out circular (or otherwise fallacious) reasoning.
