>> No.2235835

>>2235826

I think faith is the wrong word though. The theist believes in something he cannot empirically substantiate, and through faith justifies this ridiculous procedure.

The only 'belief' the scientist has is that there is a mind-independent reality and that science is approximating and/or describing that reality. The scientist can justify this belief with an inference to the best explanation.

Faith implies 'an' absence of reason, yet this is clearly not going on in scientific realism/scientific world-view.

Certainty/Proof or Evidence/Probability. Pick one.

Nothing has definitive ground. No discipline, no assertion, no claim can be substantiated in the way stipulated by old-school transcendental philosophers (Kant etc). The kind of certainty that the philosopher wants simply cannot be provided. Science doesn't need this kind of certainty however. The scientists simply says X probably exists based on Y evidence.

Thus the scientist/scientific-realist can have reason to believe X exists, reason which outweighs the hypothesis that X does not exist. So lets say I have a full basket of reasons in favor of the scientific realist, and have an empty basket of reasons for God. See what is going on here? No faith is required to legitimate the position of enunciation of the scientific realist, nor do I need definitive certainty to legitimate the scientific world-view.

The novel predictive success of scientific theories can only be explained by the fact that scientific theories approximate/describe aspects of reality.

If scientific theories didn't describe reality then the predictive success of science turns out to be miraculous. A coincidence on a near cosmic scale, as Worral put it.

We have reason to believe X exists on this basis, this is not faith. It is nothing like faith

I don't care. All the scientific realist needs to show is that scientific theories have a greater predictive success then faith based theories. If the realist can do that, then we have reason to believe that science approximates reality. This is an inference to the best explanation, this is not faith, since there is a reason that validates the scientific/realist world-view over and above the theist world-view.

You do not need a series of journal articles on order to find out what novel predictive success is. However you can read Ladyman's article on scientific realism and the case of dephlogisticated air. Also read Devitt, and Wright on Scientific Realism.

Nothing I said is special or original. I merely presented the standard inference to the best explanation for scientific realism in order to show you that the scientific world-view is grounded in a series of rational inferences, and not faith.

Dude there is nothing to show. The predictive success of some scientific theories is indicative of approximate truth and referential success - not to mention predictive success is indicative of the fact that scientific theories approximate/describe the causal/nomological structure of reality.

No philosophical world-view can account for this novel predictive success EXCEPT scientific realism. So scientific realism is the most rational philosophical position given the history of science and the predictive success of science.

As any rational founded world-view scientific realism does not require faith, it does not require a leap of faith, or philosophical Cartesian magic. Therefore you are wrong.

Protip: I didn't invent scientific realism or the inference to the best explanation defense.

You would know this of course if put in some research (I guess you find it easier to just throw ad hominems about).

P.S. the predictive success of pre-scientific theories still would not undermine the realist inference to the best explanation, since the predictive success of those pre-scientific theories would still count as evidence as to those theories approximating/describing some aspect of a causal/nomological structure of reality (this is the only thing the scientific realist has to show in order justify itself).

>> No.2236248

>>2236220

No. It would indicate that parts of that theory approximate some aspect of reality. Take phlogiston as another example. Phlogiston had predictive success, yet according to current science the phlogiston theory was false. This does not mean that phlogiston didn't approximate some aspect of the causal/nomological aspect of reality.

1. If phlogiston did not approximate some aspect of reality, then the predictive success of the phlogiston theory turns out to be miraculous.
2. There are no miracles.

Read Ladyman's paper on 'the case of dephlogisticated air' if you want to take a look at it.

>> No.2236264

>>2236248
>2. There are no miracles.

Unsupported premise.

As to the rest, if you're going to admit that the predictive success of scientifically derived theories only indicates that it "approximates some aspect" of reality, then fine. I have no quarrel with that and certainly seek to integrate science into my own worldview. However this is not a very meaningful argument, since if you're using this to say that science doesn't require faith, then it just as easily supports the claim that non-scientific perspectives which work don't require faith. I didn't think that was your initial argument, but perhaps I was wrong.

It was not a premise. My point was simply that once you eject scientific realism, predictive success is on par with miracles.

The inference to the best explanation could support pre-scientific theories providing no better alternative existed (that is predicatively more successful theories).

I'm tempted to say that If pre-scientific theories are predicatively successful, then they are successful precisely because they approximate science, since something about science seems to guarantee amazing amounts of novel predictive success.

Why do like the idea of faith so much btw? Why do want follow Kant and deny knowledge in order to make room for faith (this is essentially what your assertions amount to). And what do you mean by 'meaningful argument'. It is not mean to be meaningful it is meant to be true. You (or someone else) said that scientific world-view was on par (philosophically speaking) with faith faith based world-views. I attempted to show otherwise.

Fair enough, but the way you had it laid out it looked like an argument rather than a metaphor.

I don't, really, at least not in the sense I think you're using the term.
>You (or someone else) said that scientific world-view was on par (philosophically speaking) with faith faith based world-views. I attempted to show otherwise.
That was what I was attempting to refute. See, if predictive success makes the adoption of a worldview rational and not faith based, then
>If pre-scientific theories are predicatively successful, then they are successful precisely because they approximate science
then at least one of the cultural phenomena often referred to as being faith based and not related to reality is actually rational and not faith based. So then it's on a par with science.

Incorrect.
>The Kabbalah posits that the human soul has three elements, the nefesh, ru'ach, and neshamah. The nefesh is found in all humans, and enters the physical body at birth. It is the source of one's physical and psychological nature. The next two parts of the soul are not implanted at birth, but can be developed over time; their development depends on the actions and beliefs of the individual. They are said to only fully exist in people awakened spiritually. A common way of explaining the three parts of the soul is as follows:

Nefesh (נפש): the lower part, or "animal part", of the soul. It is linked to instincts and bodily cravings.
Ruach (רוח): the middle soul, the "spirit". It contains the moral virtues and the ability to distinguish between good and evil.
Neshamah (נשמה): the higher soul, or "super-soul". This separates man from all other life-forms. It is related to the intellect, and allows man to enjoy and benefit from the afterlife. This part of the soul is provided at birth and allows one to have some awareness of the existence and presence of God.

Id, ego, superego. We DO believe in those, we just don't believe they're anything supernatural or anything distinct from the mind.

True, true.

To preface what I am about to say; I haven't actually read the original post regarding this soul thingie.

But it was my understanding he disproved the one mind-one soul thing by some medical phenomena. Wouldn't this by extension disprove any religion relying on having a singular soul per mind?

To use the anology, if a theory of evolution hinged on humans evolving from monkeys, and you disproved that, you would've disproved that theory of evolution.

The theory of evolution doesn't hinge on humans evolving from monkeys just like how the belief in the existence of the soul doesn't hinge on anything that he supposedly disproved.

He does exactly what he says he is doing. You need to reread that thread. He does say that it only applies if you assume his intial conditions.
It sounds like you are just jumping to conclusions, becuase of some preconcived biased you have. In anycase, thanks for the discussion. I got to go. (pic was for the other guy)

I'm not a christian, so I may not know their claims deeply enough, but OP/troll is basically exploiting argument by ignorance. IE, he's saying that a phenomenon the religion never had experience with should have been explained within that religion anyway. And that's intellectually dishonest.

Going to rephrase the question.

Does any school of moral philosophy consider selfrestraint to be of prime importance?
