Why is philosophy a failed field?

Aristotle

It's not. Read Schopenhauer's forwards to World as Will and Representation. Real philosophers are always 99.999th percentile and show up in unexpected places while the academy is busy circle-jerking. With the advent of technology circle-jerking has just gotten more efficient, that's all.

It fails only in that it can not end

I mean it's pretty much just intellectual masturbation for verbally gifted people

Sort of how high level mathematics is useless but it gets numerically-minded peoples' jollies off

There've been a few good political systems to come of it but its mostly just masturbation through the centuries

Continental philosophy is a failed field. Analytic philosophy actually makes progress, albeit rare progress.

The problem is philosophy shouldn't be treated as a field. It's just literature should be treated like fiction fun to read but not a science

The divide is real. Keep crying hegelboo
