>>18546796If you enjoy studying philosophy then the benefit is your own enjoyment. If you don't enjoy it then there is no benefit.
>>18546796Helps you understand where the concepts you constantly invoke actually come from. Gives you an excuse to practice self-reflection and general reasoning. Makes you less of a mindless human cattle.

Philosophy on average produces some of the Highest IQ majors along with Mathematics & Physics majors.
>>18548647sour grape copium.
>>18548658>Philosophy on average produces some of the Highest IQ majors Who end up contributing literally nothing to society. Thanks for proving my point
>>18546796>What are the benefits of studying philosophyYou learn people been making shit up for a LONG time.
>>18548658>Philosophy on average produces some of the Highest IQ majorsProbably because they spend their time practicing iq tests, since they have nothing better to do
>>18548647oh cmon please don't tell me you're the OP and that you made this thread to cope with your failure from the last thread you made on basedence vs philosophy>>18548658>Isn't there still some people that publish literature on that topic?It depends on what you mean by "metaphysics". If you mean in the restricted sense of analyzing what is beyond physics (aka causality, supernatural laws etc) then not that much. Most papers are going to be focused on theism or on very abstract notions in that domain. However, if you consider metaphysics to englobe everything that isn't physics, then some fields like physicalism or idealism can be considered "metaphysics" despite them being akin to epistemology than metaphysics proper. So for instance, a paper focusing on the unprovabe nature of causality might end up in "metaphysics" in scientific papers despite the lack of relation with the way metaphysics is usually percieved.>Is Political Philosophy apart of Axiology/Ethics?Usually. It's organized that way on philpapers at least.
