Philosophical? #1 (permalink) Tue Aug 01, 2006 16:17 pm   Philosophical?
 

I've learned that if someone is being "more objective", he is also being "less philosophical"?

So does that mean if a statement is very "philosophical",
I can say it's not very objective?

Hi cooliegirly,

It doesn't necessarily mean that someone being philosphical is also objective or the other way round. Philosophical simply describes to me someone who has considered/pondered over and thought about a situation/problem. The end result could be subjective or objective. Who knows?
