Can, and should Philosophy Now debates function as the new central government, replacing the current system, of elected politicians throughout the world?

Absolutely not. It's 'philosophers' who got the world into this mess.
Remember the wisdom of the Beard: 'The philosophers have only to dissolve their language into the ordinary language, from which it is abstracted... etc.'

Sure, why not. Wittgensteinean language games - which accounts for nearly the entire edifice of continental philosophy post-presocratic grease - are generally harmless... so long as they are not given jurisdiction over law and social order. For that, only historical materialism will work, free of all the linguistic and conceptual confusions that philosophy is part and parcel of.

To clarify, you're saying that the mass of public must be a user of commercialism, in order for there to be peace.promethean75 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 12, 2021 3:43 pm Sure, why not.
