I don't see how she can make that point. Philosophy to me questions the stuff that we generally take for granted and consiter as unquestionable. Logic is usually not questioned ever. we assume it has to exist and that it is correct always. Since it falls into this category of unquestionable topics it only seem right in my mind that under philosophy one should question it.

Especially after seeing you go though that symbolic logic class and how you can prove something to be completely logical but it may not fall into the category of reality. If memory serves me right an example you had proved that all cats eat mice by using the correct set of statements. by observation though, this isn't at all true.

But then this is why im a scientist and not a philosopher. i look at what happens and go from there. you guys postulate first and then play around with theoreticals which may not have anything to do with anything.
