Aug 4, 2023 at 6:28 comment added Olivier5 @Scott Rowe Philosophers are merely human, and some of them are faking it. Just like some politicians, some businessmen, some scientists or some priests are fake... And yes, logical coherence can be used to judge which philosophies and philosophers stay within the realm of logic, and which don't. Liars often contradict themselves.
Aug 3, 2023 at 10:31 comment added Scott Rowe @Olivier5 if it is the only rational position for a philosopher, then it makes ot very easy to tell which philosophers are rational. That's helpful!

Aug 2, 2023 at 21:03 comment added Olivier5 Indeed, Karl Popper was a realist through and through: he thought that ideas were real and effective, and hence important. Evidently, this is the only rational position for a philosopher, for if ideas are unimportant, then why should one think, or speak? This said, Popper believed in a triune world: 1) matter, 2) mind, and 3) ideas; the latter in his view exist independently from minds.
