Some commenters are defending modern philosophy, but I think there is something legitimately wonky in the discipline. I can't figure out the best way to describe it, but, to state it poorly, studying philosophy often feels like filtering out a ton of BS. I'm saying it's all BS (it's not) but that there's too much. I don't think it has to be that way.
