    There are no theorems in philosophy. But it is popular to point out that "nothing is true" is self-contradictory.

    Is it a theorem of philosophy that there are no theorems of philosophy 😂 or no, we would more likely say, "It is a category mistake to refer to philosophical conclusions as theorems."

    @KristianBerry A theorem is a proven proposition that occurs in mathematical theory; as such the use of the word in math and the lack of use in philosophy are conventions of technical language. I'd vote for categorical mistake!
