Isn't it blessed are the Greek? (as long as we're discussing philosophy and Life of Brian...) ;) 

LOL +1, I just got that... Doh... :doh:

 

But as a reply to the topic title, Wittgenstein did explain what bad philosophy is as it relates to a solipsistic approach.

We have to accept as a basic principle, that a sound created is a sound, even if one doesn't hear it...

I'd go further and suggest, as a basic principle; any philosophy that does anything other than seek to benefit, the majority of, other's; isn't good philosophy.
