On The Usefulness of Philosophy



Carnap: "Hey, do you guys ever get the feeling that everything we are doing is totally pointless? " Wittgenstein: "What do you mean, Carnap, like that life is pointless?" Carnap: "No Wittgenstein, worse than that: what if...philosophy is pointless!?" Carnap: "What if all of our arguments are just mental masturbation, and empirical science is the only thing capable of generating real knowledge?" Wittgenstein: "Don't be stupid, of course philosophy is useful." Carnap: "How so?" Wittgenstein: "Without philosophy, how else could we ever determine whether or not we needed philosophy?" Carnap: "That is true." Wittgenstein: "Think next time before you say something."
"Also, who else is every going to figure out whether or not chairs exists? Scientists? Not a chance."
