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.
