"The pluralistic form takes for me a stronger hold on reality than any other philosophy I know of, being essentially a social philosophy, a philosophy of 'co'"-William James
I know the popular stereotype of philosophers is that we're all equivocal and ambivalent, thanks largely to the Pyrrhonic skeptical legacy. In my experience, though, most philosophers are as emphatic and assertive as anyone. More, in fact, among certain contingents of argumentative analysts (see the Argument Clinic above) and dogmatic deconstuctionists.
I think the largest component of philosophy that society fails to realize is that philosophy is largely logic based, which allows us to arrive at answers rationally and with sound judgment.
"...and world peace."
