Not a tiny bit hex, the core of it but then you'd not know this as you have a limited view of Philosophy, if any view at all other than internet forums. There's also Philosophy of Politics which has had a tiny bit of relevance too.
I honestly never seen the effect of it. So I consider it invalid.

Paine, Bentham, Mills, Marx, Plato, Seneca, Engels, Smith, Rand, etc, etc and et al. But you've probably never read any of them either.

Or were you talking about how you don't understand how Logic underpins this medium?

How dare you. I have a dog and small grandchildren and they take umbrage at your insinuation.

I was not placed into the same category of imbecile as Hex, as were my family. Presumably I have a category of my own, which suits me better.

I do know Marx and Plato ..not the others, but I do know logic are used in computers and some maths tasks, but still there's more to philosphy than just mere logic.

Such as?

If you mean the study of academic philosophy then I think the 'more' is the honing of one's skills in thinking, thoughting and communicating, otherwise I think there very little in Philosophy other than the application of Logic.

Reasoning skills are an important skill, there has been many philosophers that did much more than mere logic.

Are Plato's Cave this math based logic? ..nope! Socratic method?
