> That part about what claims sciences can make - has been addressed in statistical significance. No need to invoke philosophy. This is not what I meant, nor is it what the majority of philosophy of science concerns itself with. I specifically mentioned epistemological basis[4]. Questions such as what deliniates science from pseudoscience, and what empirical investigation tells us about how things really are, are questions in the domain of philosophy[0]. Even so, what rigorous justification deliniates a good statistical significance from a bad one? >The dark truths are even darker than that. It is what will get you deplatformed. Sure enough, philosophy studies those too[1][2][3]. >Paul has a very nice article on this somewhere on his blog. It's hard to see why PG should be considered an authority on philosophy.
