Somebody sure has a very different definition of philosophy than any philosopher I know has. What is it now? Metaphysics and Epistemology are in, ethics and value theory are out, political philosphophy is particularily condemned and when in doubt we can always go back to the mind/body problem -- as long as you don't mention Thomas Aquinas, any old Greeks, or any religious writers on the subject?
