I argue that studying the history of philosophy is philosophically unhelpful
I couldn&#x27;t disagree more. By studying history of philosophy you learn a lot about the process itself, no matter if the conclusions might seem irrelevant or outdated by the current standard enforced by new contributions. After all, I find it quite naive you will not make the very same mistakes that your predecessor did, haven&#x27;t you been somewhat cognizant of their work and perspective.
