Response to PG's "How to Do Philosophy" (newartisans.com)

Here is a short piece I posted last month:

"Philosophy that is not accessible to the field that is supposedly being analyzed, for example, philosophy of science that cannot be grasped by scientists because of idiosyncratic terms and proofs, is just intellectual masturbation."


I would refer pg to the work of the pragmatic school. Pierce James, and Dewey offer a totally different view of philosophy.
