Okay, in five years I have heard ``Objectivism is not philosophy''
twice; ``Thomas Aquinas's *Summa Theologiae* is not philosophy'' once
and now ``Libertarianism is Not Philosophy''.

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?
