philosophy is the basis of reason, math, and science. it's sad that "engineers" don’t understand it or it's import.

- okaleniuk 2y agoEngineers believe in definitions. By definition, philosophy is not a scientific discipline, because as soon as a discipline becomes scientific it... stops being philosophy. As Alexander Pyatigorsky famously wrote, "the value of philosophy is in that nobody needs it".
- floydnoel 2y agowhat i meant was- it is a poor engineer indeed who doesn't understand the concepts of philosophy such as ethics, logic, and how that led to the scientific method. science without philosophy is just scientism. it leads to engineers creating previously unimaginable horrors!
