Certain things we do have to have a sort of order and logic to them - engineering, hard sciences, mathematics, cooking. Then there's the stuff that seems to defy logic, the creative arts, humanities, history, all that stuff. I always figured philosophy would fall into the latter category, being based on opinion and argument.

Which is not to say that I'm opposed to it. I have been known from time to time to be rather vocal about my opinions. And learning how to effectively back them up would be advantageous.
