Well, you said at the top of this post the
following:
"Self-contradiction doesn't bother you. It
bothers me. Anything irrational in a philosophical
discussion bothers me."
But you "give up" on "What is philosophy?", but
this quote above clearly shows you know what
philosophy is. You've defined philosophical
discussion, or your just saying "Anything irrational"
is philosophical, but in a philosophical discussion it
"bothers" you. So, "irrational" is philosophical but
it "bothers you, or "irrational" is not philosophical.
Which one?
