> Do you think there is room for various kinds philosophical thought within Computer Science itself? Honest question. Yes, of course! Many areas of computer science grew out of various areas of philosophy, and that's still true. I guess my main thesis in this thread is that, today, philosophers need STEM in order to do good philosophy more than STEM folks need philosophy to do good engineering/science. "More than" is comparative, not absolute, and of course STEM folks can benefit tremendously by interacting with philosophers (see: the first line of my top-level post). > But pursuing a graduate Comp Sci degree is something I've considered on and off. There are some great CS departments that interact heavily with Philosophy departments. Carnegie Mellon even has a joint PhD program: http://logic.cmu.edu/ http://logic.cmu.edu/
