Science offers little in the way of answers -- remember when scientists thought the Earth was flat? And when Newtonian physics was gospel? -- so the questions are worth asking.

What Do Philosophers Do and what type of jobs do Philosopher get when they graduate ?
They teach Philosophy Perhaps they also act as a conscience to a Politician as well and try to consult to find the correct moral action towards issues regarding people and welfare. |

Sounds nice and everything, but those seem more like the pipe dreams that philosophy majors have more than anything else.  |

They think and try to find answers to some questions of life, giving theories and thinking again about this theories and answers. Very intellectual work, but not for everyone |

 Philosophers think about the roots of reality but some are just trying to defend a cause and others are difficult to understand first hand Not all philosophers are equal |

"The aim of philosophy, abstractly formulated, is to understand how things in the broadest possible sense of the term hang together in the broadest possible sense of the term."
Practically speaking there would be a lot of jobs for philosophers in clarifying conceptual confusions in sciences. Aso, there are so many pre-conceptions that go under the radar on sciences (e.g. in psychology and even in neurocience there are a lot of dualistic ones, it's pernicious).
Well even the scientifc method in itself has pre-conceptions about reality, that it can understand it or that it's at leat the best method (which probably is until now). What about reason? Can reason understand reality? "what is real is rational and what is rational is real"? (Hegell) Or is reality irrational? (Schopenhauer). Quantum physics showed us that reality is very different from our common sense and it's very hard for anyone to make sense of it like Feynnman said.
Yeah science works but truth isn't necessarily equal to usefulness (e.g. we can still use newton equations for rockets, but we know that gravity doesn't work like he thought and Einstein replaced it...).

Look at Dank. His posts are written in a 'philosopher' way. Although, some of us may find it frustrating, some might absorb their knowledge, information or bullshit. I believe philosophers are presenting you with a point, a view or opinion on something or someone. Or maybe they are sharing their knowledge and/or opinion or maybe their way of life. Basically, they speak and write about their perspective about objects, life and other shit.
They try to enlighten, Persuade, or guide.
no that's bullshit, dank is not a philosopher.. it's more like new age spirituality tinged with psychosis. New age spirituality is ancient knowledge in a fresh context. The Akashic records behold the wisdom and knowledge of our long late ancestors. |
