Put the “Ph” Back in PhD

In all seriousness, I studied philosophy. pg studied philosophy. You don't read a few hundred philosophy books and essays and not get some understanding of the history of philosophy. My course was pretty much structured as a progression of ancient to modern over the 3 years.

First you accused me, with no proof, of not having read modern philosophy. I disabused you of that view.

Now you are calling us 'unaware' and ignorant because you don't agree with this viewpoint.

You've fallen to the level of name calling.

I'm not sure why you're choosing to ignore the majority of what I wrote and complain about name calling. In summary: few of the philosophers you mention could be accused of merely playing around with word meanings; most of what PG says about philosophy makes no sense or is false. More specifics in my previous comment.
