Homo Philosophicus: Reflections on the Nature and Function of Philosophical Thought

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear author,

I find your proposal compelling and original. Despite the reader might find some informal passages, I consider this paper fits the ‘Opinion’ category. You raise many evocative theories and relevant thinkers, so you provide an enriching paper.

I would like to point out just one issue that you may consider. From the very beginning you talk about the Holy Three: Homo philosopher as the thinker, the artist and the mathematician. But you don´t offer this structure in your text. I mean, it would be easier for the reader if you develop this idea, offering separated sections for each concept (thinker, artist and mathematician).

Just two other comments on the format (typo):

Line 11. You say ‘three key figures’ but mentioned four authors.

Line 196. ‘So, what is a philosopher machine?’ (With comma)

Reviewer 2 Report

I think even Heidegger talked about the Last Got, and Götter, though It nothing has to do with churches (Contributions to Philosophy). So is difficult to assess that philosophy is contrary religion. Philosophy needs to excute an Ausaneinandersetzung with religion (s). Somehow You propose that, religions have an arsenal of Onto-seeing (s). I recommend rethink conclusions.

Reviewer 3 Report

We appreciate the originality of the theme approached by the authors and the way of accomplishing the paper, as well as the numerous references consulted and mentioned, but also its structuring and the final conclusions, which support the whole chosen topic. We recommend to the authors a slight adjustment of the title, in the sense of being completed, in order to be more specific and explicit regarding the term homo philosophicus used, in accordance with the content approached in the paper.
The paper shows through the final conclusions, the defining characteristics of a personal opinion of the author, showing the resulting ideas in the context of the proposed topic and revealing the new concept proposed.
