N2 - The practice of philosophy through dialectics, logical arguments, or critical thinking, became a cornerstone of western civilization as an approach to decipher the essence or even the truth about important questions. A good philosopher would be an ingenious designer who understands the context in which he operates, his audience, who would then exercise the right balance of logos, pathos, and ethos, to convince the audience with his position. Actually, a good philosopher is a practicing engineer, who can design and implement his designs. Furthermore, since the beginning of science and even more so today, science has progressed through the engineering of tools that extend human sensing capabilities into the unknown. The unknown has been related to nature but also to the artifacts created by engineers. Technologies and solutions to problems developed by engineers became the subject of study for scientists.
