Re: Philosophy - Philosopy versus Science - What is Philosophy
Not sure - although Aristotle is the one who argued for a happy medium for everything i.e. a golden mean. Don't eat too much but also don't under nourish yourself - same for alcohol. But then he also said that sometimes the mean should be excluded. Do you Jump off the empire state building once, sometimes, every now and then, or never. He says it cannot be sometimes every now and then - it is either once or never. Same as cheating on your wife - ask her if she is happy with the mean
Only the dogmatist says he will never change his mind. We all know that some of our opinions are wrong but none of us know which they are for if we did then they just wouldn't be our opinions. - JS Mill.
