I don't want to put you on the spot JH, but do you mind giving an example (or if you'd prefer, a hypothetical example)? I personally don't believe that religion should be included in Philosophy, and that it should get its own place, Tilted Theology for example. But the same goes for Psychology, Sociology and for example, Physical Science.

The trouble is, whenever you run out of road on an established subject, you end up treading in the misty realms of Philosophy - it's very hard to pin down. If you start demarking the boundaries, then what's left? The original Greek Philosophers were thinkers, scientists, orators and teachers, while those in the east occupied administrative positions within the government, or clambered through the mountains as hermits.
