Applied Philosophy

In this essay, you should defend a thesis on the subject of whether or not “Applied Philosophy” is, in the words of Richard T DeGeorge, a “Contradiction in Terms” (pg 9, The Origins of Applied Philosophy: in Philosophers at Work.) After briefly reviewing the DeGeorge article, distinguish between what he calls Applied and Theoretical approaches to philosophy. With the arguments from the Cohen and Russell articles in mind, defend a thesis that argues that either philosophy does or doesn’t have practical, applied, value. Your essay should include at least three citations (viz., The Cohen article, the Russell article, and the DeGeorge article).
