RE: Philosophy is a science
First off: Thanks for your comment.
There is philosophy, the classical method of attempting to arrive at truth through logic.
And then there are 'philosophies', a perfect example of newspeak, introducing the new idea of 'wisdoms' and promoting different 'truths'; based on feelings, not logic.
This is my philosophy.
You can all agree on 2+2=5 in Britain, if you like.
Still doesn't make it right.
Please, excuse my english
No. 1 philosophy + 1 philosophy = 2 philosophies. 2 philosophies + 2 philosophies = 4, not 5 philosophies.
Saying that the idea that there is more than one philosophy is the same as the idea that 2+2=5 is not logical.
The former is a semantic and logical extrapolation based on the conventions of word formation. The latter is a fact of mathematics that few would dispute.
Perhaps this will convince you:

1 g + 1 g ≠ 2 kg

Now this is what happens, when an 'English Teacher' tries geometry.
You just invented a new mathematic.
Congratulations !
Maybe you should ask a MathematicS teacher to point out your mistake.
If you can't refute what I stated by pointing out my mistake through the use of logic, and without resorting to thinly veiled insults, your ability to use logic becomes questionable. Can you please explain to me how 1 philosophy + 1 philosophy doesn't equal 2 philosophies?
By the way, your reply is an ad hominem logical fallacy. Just so you know, in case you want to brush up on your logical argumentation skills.
