Anyone a current philosophy major? I'm a Phil. major and Religion minor. Current favorite group is Autechre, whom I first heard four months ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...i'll probably be going into a program called Cogntive Science next year when i go to university... ..it involves a lot of philosophy along with aspects of psychology and linguistics |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe you can help me out by answering this: what exactly does 'solipsism' (sp?) mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Solipisism is the view (a) that only the individual thinker exists (b) the only thing that can be known is the contents of one's own mind. It's an interesting subject. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I got interested in philosophy because it examines all aspects of human inquiry, such as science, psychology, sociology/anthropology, neuro-science, linguistics, semantics, political thought, physics, etc. The main thrust is that of criticism. Nothing is beyond question or doubt. |

| |||||||||
|
|
Nothing. I'm one of those philosophy guys who doubts his own existence. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Philosophy is just asking questions and not taking assertions at face value. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i only know what's in my mind...! but it seemed to me so comfortable, i jumped for it like bart on the sofa ;o)j (and it was comfortable-as always in my cow chewing slow motion ass kicking country)!!!!!!! |

||||||||
|
|

Yo .. i'm doing a phil major (conjoint with a psych major) .. heptenary does philosophy also .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Tho there's quite a few peepz on the board very familiar with philosophy - |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm def no a phil major, but i am very much interested in religion and philosophy. my religion is my life and is undefinable because it is always evolving, but i do respect and learn from any path that resonates with my own. i should say i'm much more interested in philosophising than discussing others' philosophising, ya know? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to go back on myself, are familiar with alfred north whitehead or process philosophy? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Empiricus, please read EXISTENTIAL QUESTION thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok you fucks - education time from your dear friend Empiricus. DO FUCKING NOT major in philosophy if you want to get a job, and thus earn money, after you graduate. I graduated with a BA in Philosophy with a 3.588 recently and NO ONE will hire me. I aplied for a 16K idiot job at the local library (went to an interview, kicked ass and everything) and they gave the job to someone else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That sucks, man, but I heard Ween - The Mollusk because of you, and I think you are excellent, so I say this: VAAAAAKK! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What, REALLY? Nobody wants to hire a philosophy student? Wow. Most of the philosophy bods i know are pseudo-goth middle-class arseholes who wear leather coats as their only hobby. No disrespect to either you or the thinkers of the world though, it just seems that philosophy courses are an absolute twat-magnet, and the employers of the world recognise this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok, now go straight out and get Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane over the Sea" because it's way better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
What's your major chief? Just curious. By the way, my classes were hard as a motherfucker because (unlike most subjects) we were actually expected to have ORIGINAL thoughts on the matter we were studying (as opposed to simply memorizing and regurgitating the material). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, obviously... everyone knows philosophy is a pointless waste of time, if you actually want to make a living... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at least he thinks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fine art, another twat-magnet extrordinaire. I don't have a problem with either subject, just a large proportion of the people taking it. But like i said, i don't mean you, good fella. And original thinking is hard as a motherfucker indeed, i know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In my experience, the philosophy majors at my school were on the whole a good group of people. Very diverse make-up actually. No goths though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess my particular location might have a higher percentage of Pretentious Fools (note capitals for Emphasis) than yours then, sadly. I'm not speaking from a vast amount of personal experience here, anyway, and i feel a little bit silly generalizing people into types based on their field of study. Sorry if i caused you any offence, because it wasn't my intention. Anyway, good luck jobhunting, it sucks vastly that people feel intimidated by knowledge. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
solipsism is a headfuck! but its great to think about. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I did Fine Art and yes, I will admit, I was and remain, a major twat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

That makes two of us, my man. |
||||||||

I have a philosophy degree - a mate of mine who was a fellow student described philosophy far more succintly than i ever would be able to: "ridiclous and fatuous over intellectualisation by sad old fucks who are incapable of just living". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would maj in philosophy but i wanted to get a real job, the only job you can get with a deg in philosophy is a job teaching philosophy. but it is such a great subject, i minored in it when at school, my fav philosophy was existentialism. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is it a hard course to study? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is it a hard course to study yes it is very difficult subject. you have to really spend some time getting your thoughts about a subject out on paper and also READING!! you have to read until your eyes bleed. anybody who majors in philosophy i salute them. |

"Autechre, whom I first heard four months ago." you been livin on the moon too long sonny! |

There's this old comic where aliens show up and seem friendly but a philosopher tells them that things are not always what they seem so they distrust the aliens and foil an invasion and the philosopher is a hero. Perhaps you could do something like that for a living. |

Uh, that was posted over two years ago. Actually I first hear Ae on MTV's AMP show (Second Bad Vibel) but didn't know who it was. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hows the philosophy major going have you finished? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fleetmouse, Things are Not Aways What They Seem. (You now owe me 2 dollars and 99 cents for proffesional philosophical services rendered) Hey,this is easy! |

Yes, finally. It took me long enough though. I originally went to college immediately after I graduated from high school, but I failed out after one year. My GPA was totally fucked and no colleges would accept me, so I worked for a couple of years before entering a local Technical College in an attempt to get my GPA up. Four years and four different colleges later (at 26 years of age) I finally graduated with a 3.588 GPA with a BA in Philosophy and a minor in Religious Studies. I didn't decide my major or minor until a couple of years ago when all of a sudden it became obvious to me that those were the only academic subjects that I really cared about. |

to major in philosphy, i salute you, i minored in it in school and i had to study more in that than in my computer science and math classes, especially the readings for the phil classes, jesus some of these guys are on crack. but speaking of not being able to work in your field, this also holds true for my field as i am currently not working in the industry. |
