All concepts can be victims of wordplay regardless of the complexity of the concept. Logic is Logic and religion is religion. These two words are concepts. The word "Philosophy" combining the concepts like religion, morality, science and logic into a singular field of thought is called "word play" because the very definition of "Philosophy" is the combination of several of these concepts. Logic is used by math but it is not math, logic is used by science but it is not science. Could one say the same about philosophy? Can you remove all those concepts of religion and morality and science from philosophy and does the word "philosophy" have enough merit like "logic" to stand on it's own without resting on the shoulder of actual concepts? The answer is no. The reason is because philosophy itself has no meaning it is simply a grouping of concepts and therefore "word play." My main argument in this entire thread is that the grouping that "philosophy" encompasses is arbitrary and flawed. Religion and Logic do not belong in the same group. |
