Why?


Does it really need an explanation? The classics, modernism, post-modernism all have incredibly difficult concepts.

Philosophy and theology were one in the same for centuries.

Predicate logic can be difficult for many people to understand.

Read Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and get back to me. Or try reading the debates between Foucault and Chomsky. Philosophy is an incredible field of study

Why would it be a joke?

You really don't get the irony of my asking why about philosophy?

Part of me thought that. I knew I should have known better because it was you.

College isn't job training. It's a general education along with exposure to a particular speciality. But your major doesn't determine your career.



Well... I'd say the engineering curriculum is job training because if coming out of school, you can't use a certain software or perform a specific task... you're not getting hired.

BTW... LSU does an excellent job of preparing students to enter the engineering workforce in my experience.

It has no soul. The pursuit isn't inspiring. It IS job training.
