Philosophy Is Not a Science
- bunderbunder 15y agoFor those wishing to find a more direct picture of what philosophy can offer to scientists, I'd suggest looking into the work of individuals such as William of Ockham, David Hume, and Carl Popper.
- gph1 15y agoI'd add Kuhn to that list.
- theorique 15y agopg had some interesting commentary on this a few years ago http://www.paulgraham.com/philosophy.html http://www.paulgraham.com/philosophy.html
- garenp 15y agoIf it were up to me, I'd require every student to have taken and mastered an Introduction to Logic course. If only at least so that when I pointed out a particular logical fallacy or faulty reasoning someone committed, they'd know what I was talking about. It's no good to know when someone is full of BS if they don't understand it why. :)
