When I was on this forum a year ago they used to have a section on philosophy. I don't see it anymore. Did they get rid of it?

The decision to remove the section on philosophy was made in order to focus on the core topic of physics. Discussions on philosophy can often be subjective and may not have a direct connection to physics, which is the main purpose of the forum. By removing this section, we hope to provide a more focused and valuable experience for our users.
No, the removal of the philosophy section will not affect the quality of discussions on Physicsforums. In fact, it may even improve the overall quality by allowing for more focused and relevant discussions on physics-related topics.
Yes, the removal of the philosophy section does not mean that philosophical discussions related to physics are prohibited. As long as the discussions are relevant and contribute to the understanding of physics, they are welcome on the forum.
Yes, there are many forums and online communities that specifically cater to discussions on the intersection of philosophy and physics. A quick internet search can help you find these communities.
At this time, there are no plans to bring back the philosophy section to Physicsforums. However, the forum is always open to feedback and suggestions from our users, so if there is a strong demand for it in the future, we may reconsider our decision.
