Science is unlikely to fill in gaps of subjective experience and values, because it explicitly rules out subjective experience as part of its method. Which it should do. But then it can't very well claim that subjective experience has no value simply because it has no scientific value.
- goatlover 10y agoAgreed, but some philosophers, notably of the analytic tradition who closely align their views with science, have tried to eliminate subjective experience so that science can explain everything about the mind.
- M_Grey 10y agoIt's more likely that there are objective ways to measure subjective experiences, and that in the next century of progress in fields such as neuroscience, that's just what will happen. Again, playing in the gaps isn't as impressive when those gaps are slowly, yet inevitably closing. That's the story of the last 150 years, and the slow fall of philosophy.
