Really, Philosophy seems like a very self-important genre. Is it? Has it perhaps carved out a niche of inflated importance, when in fact, its not terribly important at all?
What are universal moral laws? Theories of Everything? Is there a One of perfection? Can we not better find morality in everyday life, in history and values? Is objectivity on anything even possible? Are great philosophical ideas waiting to be discovered? Or is everything value-driven; ideas are merely practices waiting to be re-constructed, waiting to be made due to their utility, ever-changing and morphing with the times.
Hence, perhaps most of philosophy and its lofty aims are pointless?
