<p>Could you give an example? Cos the thing about philosophy is that we often reach conclusions by ourselves but they’ve already been thought of by someone else. For example, I independently developed many theories on the nature of faith, religion, god etc. But the more I read, the more I saw that many had already been said (and the ones that haven’t, I’m sure it’s just a matter of time). I’d just be careful, that’s all.</p>
<p>I don’t think what you’re referring to is analytic philosophy but who knows…I’m submitting one paper containing a deconstruction of Rawls’ theory of justice (and trust me, I know that the critique I have is a novel one), a fallacy in libertarian theory (and, again, I know that, in the way I have it, it has not come up), and a solution to the paradox of deontological constraints (no one has done this yet, so there is no way in hel* that I’m just repeating stuff that someone else has come up with). Although I am still considering whether or not to submit a paper that essentially isn’t that original, but it deconstructs Aquinas’ argument from contingency and then shows how any cosmological argument for God’s existence is actually incoherent. Whatever, I’m sending them in because they’re the only reason I think I have a shot at getting in lol.</p>
