>I recently read What Philosophers Know, by Gary Gutting, for one of my philosophy courses. The book is, in essence, an attempt at rebutting skeptics of philosophy who say that philosophers have not established any disciplinary knowledge; the idea is that he will rebut these skeptics by showing what knowledge philosophy has gained. Unfortunately, the book ends up justifying skeptics rather than rebutting them – the entire book consists of Gutting describing a philosophical dispute, reassuring everyone involved that they are entitled to their opinion, and then moving on. His “philosophical knowledge” is simply that “everyone is entitled to their opinion” repeated over, and over, and over.
thoughts on this? I found this blog and it is pretty much my opinions restated

le ebin skepticism is the cringiest fad around
engage and refute an idea on its own merits instead of hiding behind the trilemma you pseud pussy
like lmao get a load of this shit:
>I “withdrew” from this university semester, and don’t plan on going back. Although it is unfortunate to quit before I can figure out whether (the vast majority of) philosophers are actually as staggeringly incompetent as they appear to be, or are simply playing an elaborate practical joke, I simply couldn’t stand it either way.
h-heh... it appears... my euphoric intellect... was too much... for these bird-brains... heh...
