Empiricism is a subtype of philosophy and is a misguided effort to direct philosophy of knowledge farther from its entire scope of effect. What you call science is a subtier of logical analisis that is not even compatible with current day metaphysics since post-modernism. Pathetic at best.

>The right method of philosophy would be this: To say nothing except what can be said, i.e. the propositions of natural science, i.e. something that has nothing to do with philosophy: and then always, when someone else wished to say something metaphysical, to demonstrate to him that he had given no meaning to certain signs in his propositions. This method would be unsatisfying to the other—he would not have the feeling that we were teaching him philosophy—but it would be the only strictly correct method.

Arguing over which of the two factions concerns itself with the 'how' or the 'why' does nothing to rebut OP's statement. In fact, I believe OP's statement to be entirely correct and I think a lot of scholars would agree. I do want to point out though that the literal question of why or how we exist is a question that can be answered by science... but I don't think that's what OP is talking about. Why do we exist as a species? Natural selection and evolution! How do we exist? A bunch of shit in the right place at the right time.

OP's statement put simply (and more concisely): Concern with existence is not a concern with facts //about// human beings, hence it is not science.

It isn't even philosophy in the traditional sense of the discipline because questions of an //individual's// existence are obviously not in the business of devising general truths about human nature.

That's a major oversimplification. Some fields of philosophy deal with "how", like "how do we know what's true?" or "how do we behave morally?". Physics is currently attempting to answer the same questions philosophers have been asking for millennia.

There actually shouldn't be a difference between philosophy and science. All scientists should have graduate degrees in philosophy and all philosophers should have graduate degrees in science.

But if you read someone good like Leibniz , Descartes ,Kant ,Hegel or even scholastics and plato that shit is very thorough and it needs to define its words to be accurate and correct just to avoid the fallacy of equivacation .

Now the "nothing statements" are actually infinitely more founded on then Scientific statements and laws .I'm more sure in the law of non contradiction or the law of the undestributed middle then you can ever in principle be about anything in the real world .

Possible world semantics
(Mostly people agree ) the principle of sufficient reason " all which exists has ab explanation for its existence either in a external being or in its own neccessaty
Next people also agree to objections to Arguments like the fallacies and non sequitors .

But more over this whole
>Philosophy is bad because muh no result

Is just a appeal to consequences you say that hey look at science ,results and shiet and then imply that means that science can get to the truth but this is just week ass pragmatism which even the Scientific method denounces .

Before you can do science properly you need to
Solve solipcism
Stop working of flawed induction
Prove that the universe works the same in all places not just in the earth and observable universe
Find a reason to do science independent of benefits ( because it's possible that the truth is unbenefitial to mankind so you can't use benefits to prove science is getting the truth )
Solve the Munchausen trillema without debunking yourself .

Imagine being this delusional. You realize people like Wittgenstein was retarded, right? So retarded, he tried to disprove Godel with an unbelievably, pathetically bad argument.
History is mired in people who think they are the expert in something, when they actually have little to no experience studying that thing.
Modern philosophers are numero uno on that list.
Instead, get deeply familiar with a subject, then start to wax philosophy - you might actually get somewhere.

What do you make of Oswald Spengler's (and possibly some others') claim about the different conceptualization of mathematics throughout history and cultures.

Before you dismiss it out of hand as some postmodern, liberal, marxists, relativism, I would like to remind you that this piece of work is highly influential among right-wingers, most notably the Nazis. It would be slightly more appropriate if you immediately dismiss him as being one of those people such as the Nazis who reject Jewish physics, but I'd like to see your take on some of his claims.

Ever since Einstein destroyed Bergson, science has been the go-to way to explain the universe and has been popularized in such a way that even many philosophers think that philosophy should play a secondary role in the search for truth. This is for good reason, as scientific disciplines are powerful in their reach and express clear testable results. This being said, the push to do away with Philosophy, in belief that it is too phenomenological and subjective, is negligent on the scientist's part. The base problem with this lies within the very idea of pursuing knowledge. The starting points of our search have been debated over and over again, and science often believes that the logical empiricism that is its foundation is the best starting point that we have. This makes an assumption based off results, which in of itself ignores the interconnected nature of the differing disciplines as well as the possibility of there being an ontological framework not observable by scientific methodologies.

Point being that we know too little to give science and mathematics exclusively the role of truth-seeker, especially when considering that they, science in particular, often attempt to do piss-poor metaphysics in order to produce hypothetical possibility and systemic frameworks.

Is it? I mean in certain cases you could conflate the two, but then there comes the dilemma where you can explain HOW something works, but not WHY something does what it does. When you conflate WHY and HOW im guessing you are presupposing the notion of causality and continuity. That is:

Why is there this reality/universe/existence?

vs.

How did this reality/universe/existence come about?

Answering the latter question will give some starting point that must have been the starting point, which some may infer to be answering the former question. i.e. the big bang caused the universe to come into existence, and the following scientific discoveries made since then have showed how this universe works (the laws of nature)

But, then you might ask, why did the big bang happen? Why might be a more strenuous conceptualization of the underlying question, so we might characterize it as HOW. How did the Big Bang happen? Then we might go into quantum physics or religion.

I concur with you, that WHY and HOW are, essentially, the same thing.
But, how can something come from nothing? Then you enter dualistic and non-dualistic types of thinking.

"WHAT IF WE FUCKIN KNOW IT ALL BOIS!?"

This comment had me rolling.


The statement, "science is the "how." is innacurate and simplistic. Science is the "how" outlined by our own limitations of perception as a species.

The statement philosophy is the "why.". Is also narrow and innacurate. Philosophy allows for the existence of truths, laws, and natures outside of humanity's current ability to percieve them.

Through out human existence it is the "why" that has driven the progress made in the "how.". It isn't mere coiencidence that numerous contributions to science came from theologins, (Galileo, Newton, Francis Collins, ECT.)

According to string theory there are at least 10 deminsions in our universe of which the Scientific Method can only measure 3. So essentially going on the notion that we lack the capacity to even detect, let alone quantify and measure 70% of our reality. (Let alone the almost negligible knowledge we do have about the 30% we can detect.). So why is the mainstream Scientific community so quick to dismiss any subject that can't be quantified by the Scientific method considering that it is only applicable to 30% of known reality?

Why has Philosophy, a once respected field gained the reputation as some crackpot, psuedo intellectual persuit? A field somehow inferior the one it gave birth to?
Why is it that we are using many of the same technologies developed well over 100 years ago? Why have technologies that immerse our conciousness seemed to have progressed a thousand fold yet those that would threaten to expand it have grinded to a halt?

When people stop seeing the value in asking, "why" they cease to desire to expand their perception, cease the ability to challenge the bounds of their reality, the authorities that have established them, and fall in line like spoon fed sheep.

Philosophy is 99% art. It appeals to the artist kind, that is the type of person who just splatters shit on a wall to try and convey meaning, consistently building off each conclusion they form to create a larger artwork, all of it to express a trivial idea in a way that makes the artist look intelligent to the consumer. If the idea had legitimate value it could be expressed simpler in mathematical terms, but it doesn't even stand the initial scrutiny, hence the reason why they masquerade the message in language that appeals to pseuds.

I hate philosophy. I hate art.

What is there artistic about
Philosophy of Mind
Philosophy of mathematics
Philosophy of science
Epistemology
Empiricism
Pure logic
Triple point logic
Polish logic
Modal logic
Taxonomy
Semantics


And so on I'm sure it's the opposite way around only continental philosophy can sometimes be artistic and watered down like Nietzsche or Marx but more thorough Philosophy is not artistic at all .

I feel the intuition is that philosophy can tell us how and why we should make inferences but cannot make conclusions about the real world by itself.
This perhaps could be captured by some sort of relevance logic or type system such that epistemological facts are not of the same type of potentially empirically observable facts about the world around us.
Then problems of the foundations of science would become akin to eliminations of paradoxes of self-reference.
You may also want to separate out facts of your internal mind (I know I feel angry, etc..) from facts of logic and the real world.
Pure logic cannot tell you how you personally feel yourself.

Funny how high school edge lord faggots that read pop sci but cant even tell you the difinition of an abelian group go around shitting on philosophy.

Youll find that universities (especially big ones) are unique and each have theur own particular culture, but many of the math professors Ive known hAve been deeply interested in philosophy, linguistics, and the social sciences. Stuff like epistemology, rationality, belief, collective decision making, welfare economics, agency, syntax, semantics, reference, and non-classical logics are all closely related to game theory, set theory, topology, logic information theory, and discrete mathematics/theoretical computer science. Only brainlet tier physics majors and 16 year old edge lords think philosophy is bullshit.
