42.2: On Models
Philosophy, in my view, is continuous not just with the sciences, which it's been throughout its history, but also with design, architecture, engineering, medicine and therapy - what you might call the professions. As you can see, I'm not talking only about the making professions, but also the healing professions. Some of these professions have emerged out of philosophy (which I will call P- from now on) and others have an independent history. The new philosophy - henceforth P+ - takes us back to the drawing board and asks us to take a fresh look at the philosophical impulse.
