Does philosophical study matter?
Thousands of individuals are employed to work in the social sciences and the arts.
Complete disclosure: I are among them. I work in Viewpoint.
We do a lot of study.
But does it matter? Does the research study we do make a difference? Does my work in Approach matter?
The research study doesn’t matter?
In a discuss one of my earlier little bits of writing below on Medium,
made me review this question once more. As a component of her remark she noted:
“However, social research study is usually too simplistic to provide any kind of significant takeaways.”
Of what it’s worth, I definitely do think it’s an important point that Julia increases. I assume it does matter whether research study is frequently as well simple to supply meaningful takeaways. Julia is definitely asking something vital.
On the other hand, I additionally worry in some cases that several of the research is also intricate for us to be able to do much with it!
However, if we’re mosting likely to carry on doing research in philosophy, we must be clear that philosophical research study provides us purposeful takeaways and that it can make a distinction outside of education and learning.
