Philosophy

• When belief involves the sleep of reason, critical awakening is the antidote. That is the job of Philosophy.
• Philosophy does not ask one to “believe” in something but to “consider”.
• Philosophy is rooted in logic and reason, as well as a precise conveying of language to remove the ambiguities of semantics.
  • Part of this is to uncover all presuppositions—all implicit assumptions.
  • A great deal of practical reasoning is not just coherence but consistency—can this line of thought be actually implemented.
