Philosophy Investigates the Nature of Reality

Philosophy Investigates the Nature of Reality

The first thing to consider when looking at the overall purpose of a post, is whether it would serve as a good premise.

Premises are philosophy prompts meant to elicit rational argumentation and induce critical thinking.

The overall purpose of an investigative philosophy premise might be:

To Emote (Display or Cause Emotion)

To Amuse or Entertain (Satire/Trivia/Poetry)

To Persuade or Urge To Act (Religious/Politcal)

To Interpret or Suggest (Opinion/Editorial/Biased Belief)

To Take a Stand (Politcal/Religious)

To Speculate, Predict, or Warn (Propoganda/Rumors)

To Reflect (Ranting/Personal/Social testimony)

To Reassure (Arbitrary Greetings and Salutations)

Conversely, some overall purposes of non-philosophy might be:

To Emote (Display or Cause Emotion)

To Amuse or Entertain (Satire/Trivia/Poetry)

To Persuade or Urge To Act (Religious/Political)

To Interpret or Suggest (Opinion/Editorial/Biased Belief)

To Take a Stand (Political/Religious)

To Speculate, Predict, or Warn (Propaganda/Rumors)

To Reflect (Ranting/Personal/Social testimony)

To Reassure (Arbitrary Greetings and Salutations)
