This is the conclusion I’ve come to, is that Philosophy is an attempt to describe an environment and understand it. And there are infinitely many environments to understand, so philosophy probably won’t have to worry about not having anything to discuss or think upon.
Bow by environments, I mean data of an area that is both physical, and/or informational (‘metaphysical’) in nature. Something like the “social world” is informational (psychological) combined with the physical.
(sidenote: I hate the term metaphysics, it’s almost a non-word! We should just say arbitrary information, or just information that is not bounded (tied to the natural world) instead of ‘metaphysical’.)
In the most absolute sense, thinking is attempting to describe the different structures of reality that exists in each different persons mind. Each mind itself is a reality unto itself, otherwise, everyone would agree with one another.
We might say that all of us have a piece of reality we share in common and a piece that is our preferred reality based on our knowledge, preferred values, preferred instincts, and the advantages and disadvantages of biological brains and bodies.
