if I want to make any claims about anything it's philosophy

but in doing that, you did acquire that knowledge didnt you?

I'm not talking about aquiring knowledge

whether you make that claim or not?

I'm talking about my toe hitting the table leg

yea but as a result of that

I'm not talking about results of that

Your making a claim that making a claim is philosophy

And I'd call that claim philosophical lol

And that’s also a claim

and?

so is experimenting philosophy?

What do you consider the act of experimenting

Usually people associate this with some cognitive process

putting to chemicals together for example

two

do you record your observations?

no

Does anyone conciouslly ask questions about it

no

Ok so in the world were two robots put two chemicals together and no one sees it or makes claims about it, this is claimless

so I wouldn't call this philosophy

any more than you call two distant planets colliding philosophy

If you attempt to study that behavior though?

or study anything

That is inherently philsophical

G'day fellas

Fun fact almost everything is making a claim

yeah

so anything that humans consciously do is philosophy ?

any claims they make

Your a human

really philosophy is answering claims, I guess just a claim is just pure logic

whats the difference?

But I don't see a strong line between the two

@inky if I say "A circle is square" that's a logical statement

between a claim and an action conciously made

If I say "No, a circle is not square, because circles are defined as X while squares are Y and X cannot equal Y" that's a logical argument

And therefore philosophy

@Fran that's not a logical statement, it is a claim followed by evidence

wait now you are changing your terms
