Poll: Philosophy group

[Sneaklemming]

I wonder would a philosophy group on the escapist be good. I mean if theres and anime fans group, then why not philosophy. Ive had several philosophical arguments with people here, and tbh Id like to join a group of like minded people, devoted to arguing about stuff!!

A Philosophy Society of Gamers perhaps?

 

[TheLastCylon]

Sure, why not? I'd join.

 

[spoonish]

i think itd be a good idea. i mean more so if the head honcho would be able to stop flame wars et al.

 

[Neurowaste]

Hell yeah, i'm in.

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

Yup, it would be entertaining.

 

[ThatJagoGuy]

Naw - not for me I'm afraid. I think it's straying too far from the site's ethos. There are other places online to talk life, the universe, and everything.

Not that I'm against philosophical discussion - I just think there are places for eveything.

 

[Sevre]

I hate philosophy, but I'll listen to what you have to say.

 

[Lexodus]

Hell no. Nice idea, but we'd cross into the realm of Religion faaaaaaar too quickly.

 

[Rolling Thunder]

Possibly a philosophy where people agree to use good grammar, capital letters and spell things correctly?


Hell, I'm in anyway.

A group of people standing atop their pedestals, spouting out words from their thesaurus? Sounds like a fun time.

 

[wolfy098]

I thought the escapist was a psycology group

 

[Lexodus]

Besides, you'd have to come up with some sort of clever name, like 'Philoscapists' or 'Escapophers', and those just suck.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Hell no. Nice idea, but we'd cross into the realm of Religion faaaaaaar too quickly.

Wow, took the words right out of my mouth

 

[Cargando]

Why not?

 

[Skeleon]

That's an interesting question, I'll have to reflect on that...

No, but seriously. I'd definitely enjoy sharing my views but I'm no pro in terms of philosophy so I probably couldn't contribute many quotes and whatnot.
I guess I'd at least try to take a part in this, though.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

I like that idea. I won't participate but you definitely should give it a shot.

 

[MortisLegio]

no

As long as people can keep it civil... it would need a lot of moderating

 

[BehattedWanderer]

I think it would break down into a bunch of warbling, and while it would be nice to see the occasional gem shine out, I don't think a philosophy group would go over well. Philosophy as a whole is something done on a personal level, not in a group setting. It's the same reason why it's epistemology, not straight up philosophy, that is taught in classes.

I'm in, it shall happen.
