Managing Philosophy: Effectiveness and Efficiency in Philosophical Argumentation

Written by Henrique Schneider

“Philosophical arguments should be evaluated not only by their logical soundness but also by whether they address the right questions.

A logically flawless argument about a trivial question remains a poor use of intellectual resources.”
