A Simply Brilliant Definition

Professor Russell's Value of Philosophy is a simple and brilliant definition of philosophic value. It descriptively defines the position of philosophy in intellectual history as an applicative method of generating what can be called "food for thought". It generates his subjective opinion on the matter in such a clear way that the opinion can, due to its non stipulative nature, and because of its descriptive constancy, be considered a "true" and probable programmatic definition. His language is clear and the lecture enlightening on the focus of philosophic value. It generates an interesting linguistic bridge between the Epistemic consequences of general philosophic thought and the mental development of the individual thinker through the generation of questions that allow for greater expansion of the mind's ability to think without there needing to be a physical application as the goal of the thought process.
