2 very brief points here:

firstly paul - "Could anyone
please give me some examples of other subjects that
are self-critical (as opposed to being critical merely
about their objects of study)?" - thats a nice distinction, and i think you
are absolutely right about it.my approach was a little blunt. i still think
philosophy is all about the underlying assumptions though.well, partly about
at least.

secondly to all of you trying to pen philosophy as some kind of uberscience
- its not. to me, philosophy is most definitely an art, not a science.
