2020 Philosophy Survey Part 1j: Metaphilosophy, Political Philosophy and Mental Content
· ☕ 830 words life philosophy · ✍️ Peter Hiltz
This post is Part 1j with the topics being “Metaphilosophy”, “Political Philosophy” and “Mental Content”. I recently came across the 2020 Philosopher Papers Survey of 7,685 academic philosophers around the world. (I think < 1,800 actually responded). I then ran into my first problem - uhh, what do those answers mean? It reminded me of tax lawyers writing for other tax lawyers. One piece of advice I used to give younger tax lawyers when they were writing for a business audience - drop the nuance.
