I understand, but reject the artificial labels and simplistic distinctions of “Continental Rationalism” (Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz) and “British Empiricism” (Locke, Berkeley, and Hume). They just represent different emphases in the dialectic between experiences and principles.

Institutional philosophy systematically discourages non-conformity, questioning, and thinking outside the slipcase. But even if you keep your nose to the ground and comply, you will need to endear yourself to supervisors to extend you protection and advancement as their ward.

I write a lot about meta-philosophy, i.e. the philosophy of philosophy, because I deem it an at least potentially very important tool for human enlightenment and maturation. Much in my books is meta-philosophy because they seek to foster philosophical thought in their readers.

unaware being played for their fears
told they are fighting ignoble ideas
reinforced as each one of them dies
meet reservations with blind deriding
