I'm saying it isn't just a question of information that may or may not be verified (scientifically), but of knowledge that may or may not be true (where truth is not just scientific). The opposition between the true and the meaningful cannot be consistently maintained.
Give me an example of a form of evidence not limited to scientific evidence? Are we talking about evidence of things not generally studied by the natural sciences - eg medieval manuscripts being evidence of beliefs held in that period?

Or are we into "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" and "I feel it in my heart."

Do you think philosophy just argues about scientific evidence?

I cannot know what you are saying unless you define 'Evidence which is not scientific.' If there is some point you want to make, please make it. I don't want to waste any more time trying to get you to actually say something.

I think philosophy does a lot of things. The question here is does *your* philosophy work on evidence which is actually evident. If it does, great. If not, I would rather you did it elsewhere.
-
"Philosophy does a lot of things" definitely counts as vague.
-
Yes, I'll openly admit I have no wish to get into all the forms of philosophy and what they do. This does not interest me. If you have no wish to get into what you mean by 'evidence which is not scientific' and that does not interest you, I'll move on.
-
I didn't say anything about "all the forms" but OK.
-
No, I did. To not be vague about what philosophy does, that is what I'd have to do. You're clearly not going to say anything, It's all red herrings, diversions and vagueness on a topic you chose to (fail to) engage with. Why waste my time? You could have just not responded.
