Can all the philosophical disciplines verify their own answers? What about the social disciplines? Do you just ignore questions which aren't cleanly reducible to science or mathematics?
- WalterBright 12y agoMy complaint about liberal arts educations is that they claim to impart "critical thinking" skills, and will often additionally claim that sci/eng does not. Consider: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking It doesn't even mention the scientific method! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method The revolution in the human condition has been brought about by application of the scientific method - it's the most useful critical thinking skill ever devised.
