I don't understand, what question does philosophy conclusively answer?

• kirubakaran 15y ago
  "Do we need philosophers?"

  Philosophy doesn't answer the question, it teaches you which questions to ask.

    Question: "Which questions should we ask?" Does philosophy answer this question? Or perhaps questions of the form "What questions should we ask in circumstances [FILL IN THE BLANK]?"

    "Computers are useless. They can only give you answers." -Picasso First time I saw that quotation, I thought it showed an amusing lack of understanding. Now I see the point; we need to know what questions need asking before we can begin to build anything of value in response.

      It is so ambiguous that it each person can interpret it in a different way and it looks so deep and thoughtful. Coming from Picasso I would imagine he may have been thinking "...They can only give you answers, but no create beautiful things"
