Well, yes. You can assert that 'truth does not just refer to scientific verifiability' and other people, like Dawkins and like me, will say that is the whole problem. Calling things which have not been established by evidence 'truth.' That is what we are criticising,
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.
-
I can't mute you without unfollowing so I'll have to do that. I bear you no ill will tho and you're very welcome to keep following me. I just don't want to waste time on this kind of waffle again. I need to mute a lot now to keep using Twitter or I just get bogged down like this.

By all means, don't waste your time. But I can't help noticing that you didn't answer my question, which was neither vague nor abstract.
-
What question?
-
Do you think that philosophy just argues about scientific evidence?
-
No, of course not. Who does think this and why? Many of them go on about metaphysics and other woo. I want to know if *yours* does. But actually, I don't any more. I think it is clear that you are not actually going to say anything and this is often the problem with philosophy.
