Hey Bird! I'm Morose & Lugubrious
Why then is philosophy held in high esteem?
because, as it turns out, many ideas that philosophers had were absolutely pivotal and build the cornerstone of the societies we now live in. christian virtues are merely adaptions of the big nine of aristotelian ethic. the scientific method, mathematics and geometry, heliocentrism, the french revolution, egalitarianism, the nation state, human rights, all these things you take for granted were either influenced by or thought up by philosophers of the past.
