Philosophy is not bs, but there is a lot of bs philosophy and this paper is a great example of it.

  That doesn’t make any sense. If philosophy contains bs it makes it so the whole field can be labeled as bs. I understand there’s stuff like logic and the philosophy of science that make sense. But when there’s shit like animism it becomes a huge category error. why not just not make something like logic a part of philosophy? Just pull it out. The umbrella of philosophy is like the category of analysis of everything in existence. It covers too much. It’s like anything that’s deep reflection automatically becomes philosophy. It’s too broad and that’s why it gets stupid when you have the philosophy of mathematics living side by side with the philosophy of art.
