[Philosophy Now]

Raymond Tallis asks, does it matter if philosophy does not make progress?

I don't think philosophy is meant to be progressive in its own right. But when presented with progressive ideas philosophy doesn't shy away. It does what it does best: Help facilitate their advancement.

[Dubious]

Philosophy is more in the habit of responding to current conditions than to creating conditions of its own making "progress" in philosophy something of a misnomer.
