While I am sure this is important for many I think it's also important to recognize that philosophy also has another side that informs our problem-solving strategies and the way we understand and deal with the world. Today we are recognizing "context" as a big influence on the way we understand and deal with situations. I think it's time to move from simply being concerned with being "for" and/or "against" particular positions and maybe start examining all the possible understandings (including philosophical) and start using these to inform our decision-making and problem solving processes. The idea of frameworks being "outdated" does not deny their "reality", "existence" nor their influence in the way the world behaves today. I think it's important to understand that frameworks are factors that influence the way things have been, are, and will be for quite a while. Simply looking the other way will not deny them. For the time being frameworks are necessary mental models (metaphors) that help people communicate complex ideas. Over time we may be able to more dynamic and complex mental models.

While I am sure this is important for many I think it’s also important to recognize that philosophy also has another side that informs our problem-solving strategies and the way we understand and deal with the world.
