Isn't this a philosophy?

answers1: No, its a quote. Not having a philosophy can be a
philosophy, but not a good one.
answers2: Russell has a good quote on this: We may note one peculiar
feature of philosophy. If someone asks the question what is
mathematics, we can give him a dictionary definition, let us say the
science of number, for the sake of argument. As far as it goes this is
an uncontroversial statement... Definitions may be given in this way
of any field where a body of definite knowledge exists. But philosophy
cannot be so defined. Any definition is controversial and already
embodies a philosophic attitude. The only way to find out what
philosophy is, is to do philosophy. —Bertrand Russell, The Wisdom of
the West
answers3: No. He's cosmologist.
answers4: Yes, it is so there's not much to say about it. However, if
philosophy is good thinking, then it's never dead. Stephen Hawking is
expressing his opinion and that doesn't necessarily mean that given
his notoriety, he is right.
answers5: maybe.
answers6: Yes, it is!
answers7: I don't think so. I think it's a cop-out to just negate an
entire branch of humanities; to refuse to consider it. It's denial,
not a philosophy.
answers8: yes, in a way. But the error in his assertion lies with the
fact that philosophy is the theorizing of the nature of things yet
unknown to human kind. The more we know, the more questions we have,
and the more questions we have the more we seek to find some sort of
answer. Philosophy provides answers to let our minds rest on, even if
those answers will later be found to be incorrect. For example,
science used to be called natural philosophy, before it became known
as science. Most natural philosophies were on the whole, incorrect.
There was one in the time of the Greeks that the uterus traveled
around the woman's body. <br>

Other philosophies that are current now are about the existence of
God, the existence of other dimensions and the possibility of a
multiverse. We do not have any scientific evidence of any of these, or
if there is some, it is minimal and circumstantial. <br>

steven hawkings, though a brilliant physicist, is not a philosopher
and should not be someone on whom you rely on for philosophical ideas.
Even his show about the universe on Discovery has some flaws in it, as
much of his thinking and ideas, though necessary to our understanding
of science, is now a generality and many more scientists from our
generation know much more than he does.
answers9: totally a philosophy,by the way when is he going to upgrade
his little talky thingy,its soooo 80's
