WHAT IS PHILOSOPHY?
A thing must be defined by what it is not, just as much as what it is, or we find people using a vague similarity as a means of either cherry picking from similar things or claiming the persuasive ability of truth content that is not present.
As far as I know:
There is a great difference between:
– the true, the good, the preferable, the useful, the possible, and the not possible.
1) Science(Truth) = the search for decidability independent of domain, individual, or group.
2) Philosophy(Goodness) = search for decidability within a domain within a group regardless of whether it is true.
3) Ideology(Preference) = search for allies in pursuit of a preference within a group, regardless of whether it is good or true.
4) Technique(Utility) = the search for utility and possibility, regardless of self, or others, and regardless of preference, goodness, or truth.
And I think it is very hard for other definitions to survive this test.
In fact, I think it is very hard to claim other definitions are other than something between a deception and a fallacy.
