Analytic (British) philosophy (Bertrand Russell, Anthony Flew.

humanity and ai astray, because it limits philosophy

experiential human affairs such as consciousness and true ai.
However, continental philsophy can. (Leibniz, Kant).
Definition of ANALYTIC PHILOSOPHY
: a philosophical movement that seeks the solution of philosophical
problems in the analysis
of propositions or sentences 梒alled also philosophical analysis
compare ordinary-language philosophy
That the Vienna conception of analytical philosophy. Or "bad"
philosophy, using symbols to hide the problems, instead of trying to
formulate the problems and taking into account the data (like personal
consciousness).
*some* analytical philosophers confuse "building a rocket to go on
Mars" with "building a rocket to go on Mars and using it to go on Mars".
Like logicians, they dismiss metaphysics because they have been
influenced by positivism.
But they have good tools, and in arithmetic that is handy to
facilitate the dialog with the machine, and the different
interpretations possible.
Don't put good tools in the trash because some can misuse it!
