Maybe it's because I've been staring at math and engineering books for the past 3-4 years, but do philosphy theorists love to hear themselves talk?
I'm taking an "engineering and business ethics" class as a core class for school which is basically just an intro+ philosophy class. We've been discussing, lightly in terms of true philosphy majors, Kant, Rawls, Marx, et cetera...and reading some of their major principles.
It's all really annoying and interesting in that; one person comes up with something profound and writes endlessly about it...then someone else comes along and HAS to expound upon it...and then another person HAS to expound on that. When, if you really get down to it, they're just saying the same thing..over...and over...and over again. I appreciate the views that philosophers have to offer, but for the love of everything april...there is such a thing as an end of a thought.
So...people who studied philosphy more than I...am I just blowing this out of my ass or do I have some sort of fat-mexican-kid point?
To summarize:

philosophy is all about opinions.
you basically study everyone else's opinions, then make your own based on theirs. the sad part, is that you usually have to have the same opinions as the teacher or you fail.

Thats all philosophy is.
Talk.
Why do you think most philosophy majors work at barnes & nobles and run their mouths endlessly?

Na, actually we have a cool prof that acknowledges that.
My problem is that philosphy writers, if you really just take out all the pretty words and lengthy sentences, say the same thing.
But they won't shut up.

I dated a guy once who had a philosophy degree. He was a Greek God. :drool: I don't buy your theory at all, in fact, I think he used the philosophy angle to pick up chicks, and I think it worked too!!

I don't know about that, I have taken a few Philosophy classes and, inspired by this guy, got into Phi a little. It was interesting and we had very interesting conversations. Some of it is really boring, but I find philosophy of religion to be irresistable.

In a debate, philosophy is sexcellent...but if a dude's using it to pick up chicks...wtf. That's just like quoting poetry to get the girls.
They just found a more illustrative way of saying "I just wanna put my winky in your no-no hole"
What ever happened to the good ole days of "I show you mine, I get your number"?
Damn chicks are getting picky. :mad:

Or, if they lady is slow witted "What does this rag smell like to you?" can do the trick.
