No such thing. Everyone one of the arguments against science and empiricism by philosophers amounts to 'But what ifff!!?? :'(((('.

It is a shitty field/profession/whateveryouretardscallit for morons who can't do basic logic and math. All of philosophy seems to be rear guard action against the inevitable end where science proves it to be the playground of retards. They've lost a lot of ground already and are too stupid to admit it.

>inb4 waa waah waht or where did we lose?
Physics come to mind. The movement of the planets

You are a moron. I study Physics, I don't think physics needs philosophy at all, but you have clearly never read Hume. Hume was an empiricist.

It's hard to tell if you're kidding or not, but...
Just in case you're not, ask yourself why what you're doing isn't a complete waste of time. The only answer you can give to that question is a philosophical one.

You are just retarded. Philosophy invented empiricism/scientific method/everything else that came from the enlightenment. Philosophy requires education in formal logic and advanced mathematics.

No it is a scientific one. Physics is probably the subject with the greatest amount of utility. I also enjoy it, which is a result of various biological processes.

Golly gee, you've totally shown me.

You know what the sad part is? Tests have shown that philosophy majors/those interested in this field are decidedly above average in intelligence. It's a sad sad day when such potential is wasted on such a trite thing.

I like talking lions too. But my favourite is the cowardly lion from The Wizard of Oz. It showed me that whenever shit gets too wack, all I have to do is tap my heels and say some stupid mumbo jumbo and everything will be fine.

I don't think that's quite how it goes in the Wizard of Oz, neither in the book nor the movie.

Wittgenstein said that even if you a lion knew english perfectly, you couldn't understand a thing it would have to say. It's about frames of reference.

I should thank you for my daily keks. You should read up on the philosophy of science, and read Bohr's essays on philosophy. Bohr actually got famous for his work in philosophy, and not in his modelling of electron orbits, or his work on the manhattan project.
