| This is only hearsay, but I heard that philosophy wasn't particularly rigorous (in the scientific sense). A friend of mine took mathematical logic and some philosophy courses, and he said that the people in the latter courses couldn't understand axiomatic principles very well (which is absolutely vital to philosophic logic). I must admit that this is one of the reasons why I could never be a philosophy major. Too many people see it as a study of "humanities" instead of a science. |
