Philosophy should be about how to use your head, how to think and interact with other thinking beings, and it should work even if you don't know jack about physics, neuroscience, computation, or the history of philosophy, though they are all rich sources of counter-examples.
And theology should be about the consequences of believing, or not believing, specific things that must be taken, or rejected, as articles of faith because they cannot be established, or disestablished, by any other means. What do current philosophers do? I think they're arguing theology mostly. -- rec --
