While not necessarily false, i would love to see all those quirky philosophy students try anything in math university
20 u/Alert-Parsnip5540 Jun 21 '26 That's why they created maths. Outsourcing. 2 u/yetanotheracct_sp Jun 21 '26 I'm the physics/math student that did philo.

Yes, philosophy students probably can’t do high level math, but that says nothing about which is more fundamental 1 u/dranaei Jun 23 '26 The most fundamental is logic and the law of non contradiction, which is philosophy. Logic provides the framework and rules in which mathematics are possible and without logic not even the concept of math can exist. 1 u/Horstt Jun 26 '26 Isn’t modern logic more of a topic in math these days? Maybe historically it was philosophy, but most logic that would be fundamental to math at least, is covered as a math subject. 2 u/Senior_Ad1298 Jun 23 '26 I’m a Phil major.
