To the Philosophers Among Us.

What is the task of future Philosophers?

I would say helping people find real meaning, possibly beyond the semantic games and implications that come with cultural bias, hate, religiosity, etc..Instead, look for ways to infuse logic and real reason into people's lives.

I would say, after all of the dust has settled: to help put people back together again! It is still going to be an "up-hill walk".

To help people open their minds to other possibilities. We live in a very ethoncentric society. We see the world through our glasses. Hopefully we can help people see the world and others from a different perspective, through the eyes of another

In Dead Poet's Society the teacher had the students stand on the desk and look at their classroom.

Even a slight shift in perspective allows one to see what they could not see before, to know what one did not know before

Epistemology and Cosmology would be at or near the top of any list.

robdar,

LOL that was great!!!!!!!!!!

philosophy is consumed by science...soon there won't be anything left for them to discuss (with the exception of meta physics).

Who needs philosophy when we have Dr. Laura? Dedalus

It is the philosophers job to "see" WIGO.

What Is Going On

Some have said that philosophy, as we have known it, is dead. Or, as Alfred North Whitehead stated, "The whole of western philosophy is nothing but a series of footnotes to Plato."
