David Livingstone Smith (New England) writes with an interesting question:
It is intuitively plausible that certain activities are of greater value than others. I am interested in philosophers' views on (a) whether certain philosophical projects are more valuable than others (and conversely, whether some projects are a waste of time), and (b) if not, why not, and (c) and if so, what criteria ought one use to make a call?
What do readers think?
