What Machine Philosophy Isn’t

Dilectiss Liu

Аннотация


This short paper clears up three misunderstandings about machine philosophy. First, machine philosophy does not demand computational or formal philosophy. Instead,  it only   calls for a grounding  of philosophical theorising in statistical learning,  not that philosophy  must proceed by means of statistical learning. Second, machine philosophy does not entail the collapse of metaphysics. In fact, it doesn’t affect metaphysics more than any other philosophical field. Third, while machine philosophy potentially entails the illegitimacy of widely discussed philosophical problems, this consideration isn’t a worry for machinephilosophy.
