I wasn't aware that philosophy was a problem for which a "solution" could be found?
- narag 9y agoNietzsche and Wittgenstein worked to show many (most) of then current philosophical problems weren't. Bias and language were such a big part of problems that when substracting them, they were rendered hollow. So the subject, as it was until XIX century, could very well be called a problem and yes, it was solved.
- CiPHPerCoder 9y agoSure, if you totally reframe the entirety of what it means "to solve philosophy" to mean what you said, then gaius's comment makes sense. I'm not sure I agree that solving a lot of the then/now "problems" with philosophy is the same as solving the entire field of philosophy. Especially since it requires mobile goalposts.
