Relation of philosophy to other disciplines

Main question:

is there a common structure to “understanding” such that philosophers can “understand understanding” and thereby obtain a special status?

Answer to main question	Yes	No
philosophy	With a capital P	Lower-case p
Philosophy is ___ the sciences	Queen of …	One of …
Ideology	Neokantianism	Neopragmatism
Kind of understanding	Ahistorical	Historical
[[Having a nature or a history	Kant oder Hegel]]	Kant

In PMN’s introduction, Rorty sees Platonism was the original justification of Philosophy’s special status. That became outdated, but soon after representationalism became the justification (and still is).
