Why does a philosopher have to be a person? one person coming up with ideas is hard, a group of people discussing ideas is a much easier way to pick the best values.

Now if only there was a place on the internet where that could happen

>a group of people discussing ideas is a much easier way to pick the best values.
Why?
>>
>>506422
A person philosophizing is a philosopher. Several people philosophizing are philosophers.

Plural, noun and adjective aren't hard concepts anon.

Too bad they were both completely BTFO by Hume

>>506926
I don't see how Hume's argument dismantles argument from contingency. I also don't see how is argument against miracles is anything more than begging the question.
>>
>>506938

>argument from contingency

You don't even need Hume for this, because proposing God as the reason for existence doesn't actually explain anything. It's a complete non-explanation
