Why Do Philosophy?



Science dude: "Philosophy is useless. Science is all we need. Science has given us the iPhone, what has philosophy done?" Philosopher: "Are you serious?" Science dude: "Yeah, name one thing philosophy has given us that is useful." Philosopher: "I don't know... democracy?" Philosopher: "Human rights? Skepticism? Moral progress?" Philospoher: "Feminism? Our conception of justice and equality?" Philosopher: "Logic? Epistemology?" Philosopher: "The legal and political underpinnings of every existing society?!" Philosopher: "Ideological and social progress?" Science dude: "Eh." Science dude: "To be honest. I'm a rich white guy, so none of that stuff really affects me. I like how i don't have to talk to someone on the phone to order a car to drive me somewhere now, though."
Academic Philosophers: "actually we don't like most of that stuff either, it's more of an unfortunate side affect of the work we do trying to figure out if chairs exist or not."
