> sorry, what are you referring to? Where do these things sit side by side? Animism sits side by side with metaphysics under philosophy. >... When I say meta Without “physics” as a suffix I mean anything from metareligion to metagrassonyourlawn. You can even metameta. I’m saying the legitimacy of talking about metaphysics is different from the legitimacy of say metatoilets. Animism is a philosophy btw. And it’s still a philosophy to this very day. This isn’t history class that I’m talking about here. If some scientist is wrong about something, that hypothesis is discarded from science. Animism has not been discarded... it is a school of thought discussed side by side with the philosophy of science. This is the category error I’m talking about.

You're really just arguing against an imagined opponent, at this point. > Animism is a philosophy btw. And it’s still a philosophy to this very day. No it isn't. I'm talking about professional philosophers. > it is a school of thought discussed side by side with the philosophy of science. No it isn't. Not by anyone that matters. > When I say meta Without “physics” as a suffix I mean anything from metareligion to metagrassonyourlawn. I don't care. Metaphysics is where "meta" comes from, and it has a specific meaning and interpretation, within professional philosophy. You are not referring to this specific meaning, and so I don't care what your thoughts are anymore. You're tilting at windmills my friend.

  Animism is still discussed under a new pseudonym: Philosophy of religion. > You're really just arguing against an imagined opponent, at this point. Nonsensical statement. You're either calling yourself imaginary or your saying you completely agree with me and I'm completely right and therefore I am arguing with no one. Please try to keep this conversational logical.
