1. Philosophy / E. Nature of Metaphysics / 6. Metaphysics as Conceptual

15215	Philosophy devises and assesses conceptual schemes in the service of worldviews [Harré/Madden]
	Full Idea: In our view the task of a philosopher is to devise and critically assess conceptual schemes in the service of some overall vision of the world.
	From: Harré,R./Madden,E.H. (Causal Powers [1975], 1.I.B)
	A reaction: This makes theology just as genuinely a branch of philosophy as their scientific essentialism. Is there any sort of philosophy, then, which is not 'in the service' of some independent worldview? Interesting. Note 'devise', as well as 'assess'.
