Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- Artist vs. philosopher. Artist is inexact (vague and ambiguous), unrigorous, emotional, unconscious, and uses figurative, metaphorical, and imagistic language in order to hint at the ineffable or the poorly understood or the barely felt subtleties. Philosophers use exact terms, rigorous logical thinking, and little emotion. I need both philosophy and art. --- 12/30/1996
Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- Artist/philosopher is neither all artist, nor all philosopher. The artist/philosopher balances reason and emotion. Vision and passion. Examples: Nietzsche and Wittgenstein. Two problems: Enough emotion but not enough thought. Enough thought but not enough emotion. --- 07/27/1993
Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- Artist/philosopher. It is a very strange balance that the artist/philosopher is trying to achieve. Call it "controlled chaos".

Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- Artists and philosophers with their old shabby clothes and old shabby cars, they insist on creating new works of art and new ideas.

Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- By the end of the 20th century we had figured out everything except science and technology, and any new ethical situations that science and technology presented us with. All art, philosophy, politics, economic, etc., positions and ideas had been worked out. Breakthroughs and new ideas were rarer and rarer. The endgame was drawing near. The post renaissance learning explosion had transpired. We settled down to a steady state. One world, one government, one blended language, one blended race, etc. We sent the learning down to the masses. That took years. We waited for the inventors. --- 01/01/1993
Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- Economic analysis of philosophy. Cost/benefit analysis of ideas: bang for the buck. How difficult and long is the idea. Resources required to learn the idea (time, energy, etc.). How much does knowing the idea help one in life? How much does knowing the idea help one in the world of ideas (academia). --- 12/30/1992

Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- More important than "philosophy vs. science" is "thinking vs. believing vs. sitting around doing nothing". Thinking: philosophy and science. Believing: magic, myth, and religion. Doing nothing: veging. --- 12/30/1992
Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- Most people are either too dim, too lazy, or too socially conditioned against "active minding" to think and search in thought. In fact, most people eat what is set before them. Philosophy must push its ideas, because its ideas are intellectually difficult. Otherwise progress will be painfully slow. In comparison, religion is easy entertainment. --- 12/30/1992
Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- Philosophy and technology really change the rest of the subjects the most? Or do other subjects enact change through politics and technology? --- 10/27/1993

Today computers are driving the sciences. Technology is where its at. Technology kicks ass. (2) Today computers drive technology. Technology changes the world. The changed world is reacted to by philosophy after the fact. --- 03/03/1998
Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- Science. (1) Anyone who observes (perceives) and remembers is doing science. That is, everyone is a scientist. (2) Anyone who deduces is a philosopher. That is, everyone is a philosopher. --- 1/22/1994
Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- Science. (1) Philosophy vs. science. (2) Natural science (hard) vs. human sciences (soft). Natural science: astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology. Human sciences: psychology, sociology, political, economic, critical theory (of all manmade stuff like art, culture, non-art, tech, government, etc.). Human sciences deal with geistwissenshaften, understanding, meaning (language), intention. --- 10/23/1993
Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- Science. (1) Science grows at its own pace, and since there are zillions of scientific facts to be discovered, science (and technology) grows quickly. The number of philosophical ideas is comparatively much less than scientific facts. (2) Discovery of philosophical ideas are not immediately applicable like scientific facts, and thus less noticeable in society. A thing is easier to introduce into society than an idea. A thing may be more useful to a society than an idea (not always). (3) Scientific facts are persuasive, and tough to argue against, and more quickly accepted than pure ideas. (4) Foundational views are entrenched and slow to change. --- 06/30/1997

Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- Science. The difference between philosophy and science is not distinct. Philosophers do thought experiments like scienctists. Scientists unconsciously do philosophy when they build theories. --- 12/30/1992
Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- Science. The difference between philosophy and science is not distinct. The difference between the subject areas of philosophy and science is not distinct. The difference between the methods of philosophy and science is not distinct. They overlap. They rely on each other, and they borrow from each other. --- 12/30/1992

(6) They do not see how much they need each other. --- 03/26/1994
Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- There is much pop and folk wisdom that will remain so, and not be accepted as truth, till a defining scientific experiment or philosophical argument is thought of to prove it. Go get 'em tiger. --- 10/23/1993
Philosophy, what, related subjects. --- Where does art criticism, linguistic semantics, or any subject end and philosophy begin? Who can weed out science from philosophy (or visa versa)? Who can weed out philosophy from any other subject? If philosophy and science are methods, not subject matters, then aren't they just on a spectrum of thought methods, or mental behaviors that runs from belief in magic to reason? What individual does not do science and philosophy (even if they don't realize it) for themselves everyday? What philosophy is not based on observation, or manipulation of variables and constants? Has philosophy come up with anything that science has not (besides ethics)? --- 01/01/1993
