The problem is that all philosophy rests on central axiom which we must take to be self-evidently true. This is the part that concerns me. I have recently encountered websites by ex(?)-philosopher who regarded most philosophy as BS and suggests that if we accept any axiom, we can believe in anything consistently including solipsism which he claims irrefutable. What is your take on this?studentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954608646904080796.post-14743111907324179272011-06-19T06:01:47.444-07:002011-06-19T06:01:47.444-07:00Would not be able to comment.

I think you could make the same argument about how many professors deserve to be there. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954608646904080796.post-58746522188091515522011-06-18T13:11:02.657-07:002011-06-18T13:11:02.657-07:00My old prof used to say that in the typical univer...My old prof used to say that in the typical university, 5% of the students deserved to be there.
