Upon reflection, I suppose I was not considering all of what philosophy can entail, particularly since Richard’s list was incredibly underwhelming. I was also thinking of metaphysics when I wrote that, and I over-generalized. Logic, for one thing, I think is very useful when it is applied, and that is considered a philosophical discipline.
So, I take back my statement, somewhat. Philosophy just seems mostly useless, but I’ll concede that I could be wrong.
