Modern Western philosophy is mostly a fraud on its students and laughing in their faces. It is the cultivated study of nonsense. It is not even about defining, acquiring or measuring wisdom. It is the rejection of objective truth.
Causation is constantly argued over. It is actually easier to assume that all good and evil is from God and correct our behavior if we perceive we are being punished. Even if God does not exist, this perspective allows groups to remain in existence and apart from others, which is the basis of national identity. Following the laws believed to be from God makes it easier to correct our mistakes. The minds hardest to change are the minds of atheists and nihilists with a little patch to protect, mindful of their meagre achievements, tactically refusing to engage. They are the obstructive bloody minded petty officials of our time.
