Everyone is not doing this one task needed very well even though they can reason. Psychology has a lot to.do with it. Many people can't distinguish philosophy from Psychology or pure deductive logic & mathematics. You make it seem easier than reality. I think more details are left out which would make reality more difficult. You may not be including QUALITY along with the end of the day results. Quality makes a difference. | |

Just as i would say some BOXERS are artist and NOT just ATHLETIC combatants. The physical aspects are like drugs. Thw side effect dont last very long. TIME & Age will beat the physical only method. | |

| Jul 16, 2019 at 18:41 | comment | added | Logikal | @Carudus, I would say Plato, Descartes, Kant, or any rationalist philosopher one can Google. There is a struggle within some philosophers with the art and science.one cant love two Gods (subjects). One can venture off into other topics while studying philosophy. The can loose their way and spend more time with the OTHER topic. Some concepts are not applied universally even when the terms look identical and spelled the same. | |
| Jul 16, 2019 at 18:35 | comment | added | Carduus | @Logikal I have never seen a philosopher that actually thought of philosophy as an art. Can you give me any examples for my edification? | |
| Jul 16, 2019 at 18:33 | comment | added | Logikal | @some_guy632, I did take the idea of Philosophy in a formal sense & pointed out many people take the open sense where all is philosophy & we all are philosophers. This I take is a mistake. Philosophy doesn't mean philosophers are the ONLY rational human beings. You Express that other humans can rationalize --not necessarily do philosophy. Often times terminology causes problems as here with logic & argumentation. Some terms are used in different contexts in a particular field. So authorities have some play here why this is still an issue today. There are many egos involved to resolve I guess. | |
| Jul 16, 2019 at 18:01 | comment | added | Logikal | @someguy632, you are using the term philosophy in a too generous way. With your context then almost everything is a philosophy which is not a good thing to old school philosophers. It's like saying anyone can do what you do. So no everything is not philosophy nor is everyone a philosopher. There has to be other way to Express and name ideas besides just philosophy. How about bee waxing instead of philosophy? No professional in any field wants to hear everyone can do what you do easily. | |
| Jul 15, 2019 at 16:57 | comment | added | Logikal | One should note that all subject ARE NOT sciences. Many topics such as deductive reasoning can be done with or without any science. Many Philosophers consider philosophy an art and others a science. There is a distinction between an art and science. | |
