Where are You Going,Philosophy, and What are Your Methods?

The viability of philosophy as a genuine field of knowledge has been challenged time and again.Some have challenged“traditional”philosophy,or what was considered“traditional philosophy”at a given time;others have challenged philosophy in general.But there has been considerable progress in philosophical methodology in the 20th-and 21st-centuries.In this paper I raise challenges to some of the current misconceptions of analytic philosophy,and I propose constructive methodological solutions.
