...just Imagine the probabilities!

>>9953693
>philosophy is an /x/ subject
fuck off its literally a field of science

>>9953691
What would philosophy without physics be?

>>9953924
I agree philosophy is not an /x/ subject.

However, it's not a field of science as it is not empirical.

>>9953924
philosophy IS an /x/ subject, and it ISNT a field of science
kindly fuck off

>>9953929
The history of western thought up to Galileo.

>>9953691
not science or math

>>9953691
I'm interested in why you think that

>>9953691
You don't see physics students seeking validation for their chosen subject though.

Philosophy as a whole is kind of a pointless subject when the scientific method is a better way of understanding reality. There's too much subjectivity involved with philosophy for it to be useful

Why?

>science abandons philosophy
>philosophy itself splinters and becomes corrupted
>50 years later
>massive replication crisis, but it'll fix itself, everything bad we'll just call psuedoscience or metaphysics
>theoretical physics now all conveniently untestable without accelerators the size of jupiter, but it's not metaphysics
>"multiverse and anthropic principle solves all questions", but it's not metaphysics
>"time doesn't real", but it's not metaphysics
>"it's all just evolution except for when it upsets leftists", but it's not ethics
>"consciousness is just a meme", but it's not metaphysics or ethics
yeah this will end well...

I fail to see how observation of the world around oneself and reflection upon scientific study has no practical impact upon individual or social life

Just shut up and calculate. Copenhagen is all you need.

With philosophy a man can explain the sun.
With science a blind man can accurately explain the sun.

>>9954179
Why can't the world's best physicists explain to the world's best mathematicians why physics isn't rigorous?
>>9954177
Scientists seem to actually believe that by explaining photopsin isomerization the blind man will see.

What the fuck are you talking about? That's not an issue, and makes no sense.

Older discussion but I think some points still valid

yeah, well philosophy without physics is like = <x|H|a>|^2

Philosopher: I think about this a lot and I conclude this question can't be answered. I am so smart that I can predict that nobody else will ever develop a better theory.

Philosophers are so dumb to reduce a phenomenon and it always lead into God theories, existentialism or many variations of magic.

Nothing is irreducible. It's just that we're not [yet] smart enough [to know how] to reduce it.

Philosophy, like religion, is just a mental masturbation.

Philosophy is a failed attempt of everything. All theory no action/experimentation!

This is the reason why there's no real progress in the many centuries of philosophy until psychology came along (1900 to present).

Which one?
