So... do most philosophers actually prove their views?

>> No.10961991

Like use inductive reasoning? Some do, I believe Kant does.

Many political philosophers just straight up use deductive reasoning when considering the ideas they present, through empirical examples.

if you mean "prove" in a formal premises->operators->conclusions sense then what you are looking for is analytic philosophy. in fact analytics care so much about proof that the actual content is often trivial, and skipped altogether

in any other sense....I believe the "proof" is derived from whatever their philosophical school/tradition/background is, and more often than not, implicit

They "prove" that their state of mind/perspective can be understood and justified by others.
