@chequeredfuture @supracrepidity @PriyamvadaGopal Is this what Cofnas believes?

@DanielSacilott6 It's quite funny how analytic philosophy proceeds without any concern for continental, while continental spends so much time and energy vituperating the other. Its the meme

@1995BCu @dfkodsi That's true - the advice never to use the first person is a heuristic specific to undergraduates to avoid them writing unjustified personal opinions, not a hard and fast rule

@nomhossain They are. They are assumed to be in all sorts of academic disciplines, and they predict an enormous amount about the world.

@kaptere_mumbi @mrdarrenyoung @mydorazio @whatsinitforme @nathancofnas Have you ever studied academic philosophy? This is entirely coherent and typical of the discipline

[John Psychmyth @JohnPsychmyth]

@A_Gemini_theory It doesn't read like undergraduate level writing, they're just being hysterical

@3RenChengHu The use of "we"/"our" is incredibly common in analytic philosophy when writing a positive account, such as Sellars' "Empiricism and Philosophy of Mind". Makes me wonder whether OP has ever read any analytic philosophy

@raphaeldogg It reads like an introduction. Not sure why people are struggling with this

[John Psychmyth @JohnPsychmyth]

@katli_01 This is a completely common way of writing academic analytic philosophy.

Why does Cofnas' PhD introduction read like he was unsupervised? Why did no one ask him why he was making (unsupported) claims without references? And who is "our" in the very first sentence? "Our" in the West? "Our" as in in his field? "Our" as in the reader?
And who is "WE"?

@adamndsmith The blindingly obvious reason is that the rules around academic speech are entirely different from things you say at work.
