>philosophical exports are the kinds of thing that, once you internalize them, just seem like the way things are Yes; if you like a philosophical idea that's usually sufficient for you to have 'adopted' or 'accepted' it. Yet, in addition, philosophical problems have been solved. It's just that ipso facto they then become part of science or some other discipline, so we don't notice so easily. For example, the theory of evolution was an example of philosophical progress (a new way of thinking about something, in this case life). But it's now part of biology. Another example is that Karl Popper solved the problem of induction. It's controversial that he did so. But if it shelves off into some other field, e.g. AGI, then perhaps his achievement will be more widely accepted as such. |
