- mkramlich 16y agoTruth is a good thing, agreed. But I'd say that philosophy is an ineffective way at arriving at truth, however. Science, logic and mathematics are much better at it. Philosophy also suffers from some crippling flaws that Wittgenstein pointed out.
- xenophanes 16y agolol, witt was a terrible philosopher (if one can even call him a philosopher -- he did not have philosophical problems). if you try reading Popper instead you'll find philosophy is rather better. epistemology is a very important and useful field. at least i think so, feel free to post or cite a criticism. i'll accept that most of the rest of philosophy is a bad signal to noise ratio.
