The Merits of Philosophy

The video discusses the importance of reintroducing philosophical rigor into disciplines like political science. It highlights the problem of treating philosophy as a separate discipline, which leads to a lack of communication between philosophers and practitioners in other fields. Philosophy has become introspective, focusing on internal issues rather than engaging with other disciplines. The video also points out that political science PhD programs often lack philosophical training, which limits the ability to engage in deep, philosophical thinking.
