Yeah allow me to criticize the field. It's had the issue of specialization which it has adopted from science. Even more it has lost any ferverency it necessarily have.

The issue with simply saying something is true is well noticed in proof theory. You have tree proofs which are uninformative - they only say whether truth is preserved and not what the truth is structurally. Natural deduction is seen as working past that.

Anyways, the value of anything is in its degree of universality. Any theory that can be explained by another theory which is more broad is naturally of higher worth. This extends from science (newton supplanting galileo's theory) to mundane (how to sleep better every day versus a single day). It's inherent by all humans and reality necessarily.

So a metaphysics which can dictate reality in the more universal way is more valuable. Some metaphysics can dictate how science should be and we can test it and see if it is of worth. If the assumptions are wrong we try again checking based on degree of universality.

You may have seen pr, Einstein used metaphysics similar to Aristotle to develop his physics (unconsciousably probably). Newton went a different path. Quantum mechanics can cover Newton but not Einstein's gr. Quantum field theory seeks to unify them all. This is very similar to the early logicist program.

Well you can argue that but in the end some frameworks we are able to use to more properly get things done in our lives and also some we can use to be less efficient.
Pr seems to think so.

Ig that's me and Einstein if I'm understanding you correctly.

The only thing I can think of is the memes that make fun of "citation please" reddit faggots and that is duly deserved. Any faggot that can only receive pampered information from the libero-capitalist university system reminds me of any manchild who doesn't like vegetables.

I'm not a physicist but I know very well ppl talk out of their ass w this shit. Im sure you've seen picrel, relativism is not only inapplicable for higher studies, it doesn't make sense in any framework

>>16006956
Yes well you'd be embarrassed to find that's exactly what mathematical platonists do who are the over majority of ppl in math today. Picrel absolutely not enough mileage

According to who?

>Truth
>Can't even understand philosophy 101 like his fellow Numale Atheists and has to resort to fighting against strawmen (like all of them did with Thomas Aquinas' cosmological arguments in their respective books)

He's a brainlet, not a philosopher.

Bing bing wahooooo!!!!

I frickin love science bros!!! its so cool!!!

>>15936398
Sounds like you should start at the basics of philosophy with Plato

>>15880485
Yeah bro fuck philosophy, science is so awesome bro!!!!! Did you know there's a trillion starts??? So epic

>>15808757
No bro reading and understanding philosophy makes you dumber. Who care about what truth is when we have statistics?

This is all bs and conformity doesn't mean it's correct. The ones who started these fields were religious. Those scientists and philosophers aren't doing shit

One of my favorite photos but positivism, their answer to the problem of induction (you can't prove something and it takes only one disapproval to get rid of the theory), the scientific method (francis bacon), the realism of objects vs the idealism of them or abstract objects. We take these as perfectly normal propaganda but they were hard fought for for quite a long time and are still an ideological system. I think ivory tower philosophy took a ridiculous route but you lose more than you gain by forgetting this and building upon these foundations

Relativism does not contradict objective reality. It takes two seconds to realize this and none of the authors who were experts and forebears of this said so. Relative means it's individual perspectives in relation to objective reality. Otherwise it's not relative it's solipsism. Seeing an object in two different forms doesn't mean the object doesn't exist

Sam way they do in general, would love to read a book in particular

lmao, think again lierbal arts cuyck
