Modern philosophy is just a set of notes on the margins of Descartes’ “Meditations”.
That is the most damning criticism of philosophy I have ever seen.
(1) It’s totally tongue-in-cheek. (2) By “modern” I don’t mean “contemporary”, I mean “since Descartes onwards”. (3) By “notes” I mean criticisms. (4) The point is that I see responses to the simulation aka. Daemon argument recurring in philosophy.
(3) By “notes” I mean criticisms.
Ahh, that one makes a difference in connotation. There certainly seems to be more of that than I would judge worthwhile.
