Philosophy of mind and consciousness are just fields within the overarching study. They&#x27;re commonly brought up as &quot;typical&quot; pursuits in philosophy (there&#x27;s really no such thing), but they aren&#x27;t an embodiment.<p>Automobiles might have been bad for horses, but it didn&#x27;t make cows less useful.<p>(FWIW, philosophy studies aren&#x27;t limited to works of philosophy. I&#x27;ve read Haidt and Holder for both moral and political philosophy.)
