I lecture #philosophy at #Thammasat University with a great passion for #metaphilosophy especially when it comes to #education or #metaphysics.

We should encourage academics who want to think deeply about #Covid_19 by allowing them to risk a *fruitless research.* However, most uni will, I'm afraid, take this #WFH to be work as usual but from your home. #COVID19

@Phil_Baty @timeshighered Do arts and humanities fulfill that role though? Can we demonstrate that studying with us promote such thing?

I highly doubt that.

Children really make the best philosophers. They have infinite curiosity and wonder, and they haven't yet aquired any of the prejudices that close adult's minds off from possibilities.

The only real problem is that children are dumb as shit.

Even though phil doesn't switch omnivore to vegetarian, it dials down meat consumption.

Sceptics will still question along the line of Posner though. Is it the phil argument or the horufuc picture/ story which affects this change.

“a more efficient use of resources in the future.”

This shows that the main concern isn't whether phil is valuable or not. It is whether uni perceive phil to be worthwhile or not.

We have terrible perception.

It's noteworthy that there is only a handful of demonstrations in this thread.

Can philosophers do anything more than diagnose our decline and make a few nice distinctions?

[Teerabhat Ruensiri @ProperPhil]

@euthyphro Could you give some example?

"I’m an idiot for doing it because I should have known all this before going into it. Except no one teaches you about the reality of academia in undergraduate philosophy courses. You never know what it’s really like until it’s too late."

Would typical phil of tech be comfortable in this conference? I'm not so sure. We should though. We should make worthwhile contribution as well.

“Why does it matter whether philosophers use intuitions as evidence? It matters because we want to make sure that we are reasoning responsibly.”

Should we consider philosophy social science? Philosophy as social science is prima facie collaborate easier with other disciplines after all.

@PeterSinger

Can we do the same for metaphysics etc? I think so.

"The continental tradition, for me, is committed to the idea that philosophy is an essential part of culture, of a way in which a culture or social form of life reflects on its fundamental issues."

Should the question be about ethics? Shouldn't metaphysics influence us too?
