everyones gonna give you their own bullshit philosophies man... just focus on the overall... the basis for all modern philosophy (and science) is this idea of cartesian 'doubt' also called methodological doubt - referring to the cartesian maxim "doubt all that which is not clear and certain"... it is possible to formulate an idea of methodological error along these lines... certainly, there are positive reasons for doubt, when in the course of an investigation one finds contradictory evidence... but when doubting in the absence of a positive reason you encounter hypothetical doubt, which is not real doubt... hypothetical scepticism isn't real scepticism... consequently the cartesian idea of experience, the foundation for all modern thought, has some errors... "i think, therefore i am" - i exist by questioning my existence - this is the cartesian idea that spawned the methodological 'flavor' of all thought since then from hume to kant to whoever else i dont care... well this has errors... this assumes that my access to myself is somehow privileged, but in reality no, your relation to yourself is defined first by your relation to the external world, which you then generalize and project inward... i'm cutting it short but man's consciousness has no static content, no sensation, no impressions, no 'experience' as these are all linguistically constructed... c.s pierce... the mind has no power of intuition, but every cognition is determined logically from previous cognitions... the mind has no power of introspection, for even your relation to yourself comes from the external world... there is no difference between man and his material conditions... this 'pragmatism' bears a resemblance to hegelian idealism (although pierce denied it, dewey affirmed it, whatever) and prefigures marxist dialectical materialism... every other "philosophy" is either anachronistic or impotent, the only proper subject of inquiry are phenomena: social, historical, economic, etc...
