THE PURPOSE OF PHILOSOPHY

The purpose of philosophy exists in the need for and identification of increasingly precise and therefore increasingly parsimonious means of decidability. A means of decidability remains imprecise, and we call that means of decidability a theory. The most parsimonious theory exists in correspondence with existential reality. We name that means of decidability we call a theory constructed in correspondence with reality, “Truth”. Over time, our search for parsimonious decidability causes the falsification of non-correspondent theories and replaces them with correspondent theories. As such, while the purpose of philosophy is to identify theories with which we obtain decidability, the consequence of the practice of philosophy is increasing correspondence with reality, and somewhat like zeno’s tortioise, we approach the truth perpetually but never knowingly reach it because to do so is to state tautology: identity, the most perfect description that humans can possibly utter.
