Is philosophy a political ideology?

[Asif]

Yep.Typical wriggler and hider behind words.
Maybe read your own posts! Lol!

At least you're jolly!

I am. Because I use my mind practically and creatively,not to waffle and pontificate like yourself.

Do you receive a decent royalty income from your creative works?

Lol! Now success is governed by cash! What an establishment capitalist stooge!

So your creative endeavors aren't sufficient for you to make a living with. How do you make a living instead? And wouldn't you have rather made a living with your creative work? Everyone I know who does some sort of arts/entertainment stuff prefers, or at least would prefer, to make a living with that rather than having to do something else and only have to do their creative stuff as a hobby (that they try to find time for when they're not working, when they're not doing stuff with family, etc.)

I'm.afraid your nosey prodding and poking into my lifestyle won't work. Too many assumptions and cliches. What makes you think I will divulge my lifestyle in detail to an authoritarian sophist hippy like yourself? Suffice to say I'm very happy,and getting happier.
Anything else matey?

I make a living with my creative endeavors.

It's not because I say so. It's because I receive money for that stuff that I do, which is usually considered creative stuff.

Your track record is that of a sophist. So excuse my doubt about you.
Are you trying convince me or yourself?
So creativity is judged by the market!!!

Whether something is usually considered x is determined by usage obviously. And then whether you make money/make a living doing some activity is obviously "determined by the market." That's how such things work.

By the way, the sophists were unjustly criticized by Plato, whose own philosophy was at least as misguided as anyone he was criticizing.

Yes,plato was a sophist. As are the vast majority of famous philosophers. Because they were political propagandists. Hence my thread!
The rest is just waffle and cliches.

Plato is solely the reason that "sophist" has a negative connotation. So if you're buying into that, you're following Plato's views, whether you're doing to inadvertently or not.
