Philosophy is unique among our fields of knowledge in that it doesn't start off with unprovable central axioms, rather philosophy itself is its own starting point.
I'm not referring to different philosophical schools, but philosophy itself.
Consider what criteria this author is using when critiquing philosophy. Within another discipline such as, say, physics, in order to critique its methods for example, one cannot use physics to do this. For philosophy it's another matter. Philosophy is its own critique.
