10 questions ignored by philosophy
Institute of Art and Ideas,

These are interesting questions and are mostly overlooked in contemporary thought, though I think they're implied in a lot of thinking. For example: "what is the role of personal judgement in rational thought?" Or this question, which applies especially to educators: "how do we reconcile our moral intuition that all humans have an intrinsic value, with our intuition that some people are better than others?" They depict, I think, a discipline in flux, as people are becoming less forgiving of abstract theory that misleads, rather than informs, about day-to-day life (the same criticisms are being made in other disciplines).
