The Philosophical Problem is a Problem
The Philosophical Problem is a Problem
The definition of a problem in itself is a problem as problem is undefined. The problem of definition is the "problem of the problem" where definition of the problem requires a recursive understanding of the problem: the problem is a problem because it is a problem.
Re: The Philosophical Problem is a Problem
The easiest way to solve any problem is to ignore it.
Philosophical problems are rarely (if ever) pragmatic problems.

Nah. The "ignore it" strategy is unreasonably effective when applied to philosophical problems.
Pragmatic problems are less forgiving. It is difficult to ignore COVID-19.
Re: The Philosophical Problem is a Problem
COVID 19 was most likely a response to a prior problem as it appears, at least in conspiracy circles, man made.

Philosophy is rule creation, rules are means of defining an entity, philosophy is definition creation.

The philosophical problem is a problem. The sheathed knife is a knife. The unfurled flag is a flag. The noxious odor is an odor. The adjectivised thing is always still a thing.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 10:36 pm The definition of a problem in itself is a problem as problem is undefined.

There is nothing more to say, other than that which is not said. All else defies definition since all definitions defy a reality which cannot be accessed except by definition.
Only the problemized problem can be a problem of reality’s definization. The problem is also the solution since only problemized problems can be solved.
That which is a problem is really a question of the mind for consciousness is the question. All questions are answers to questions recursively. Answers are only questions waiting to be asked by consciousness which is the philosophical problem that remains to be solved.
