Re: Why Philosophy?

I gave two kinds of philosophy in my reply to Justin. Speculative Philosophy and practical philosophy. Speculative philosophy is useless, by the very definition because it is an end in itself. Moral Philosophy is useful, what i'm saying is, not all people need to study metaphysics as we study it in formal philosophy, but one can never escape dealing with moral philosophy. It is what makes us human.
