Philosophy of science is philosophy enough.[/b]
One man’s opinion?
Beneath the uniformity that unites us in communication there is a chaotic personal diversity of connections, and, for each of us, the connections continue to evolve. No two of us learn our language alike, nor, in a sense, does any finish learning it while he lives.
It rhymes with dasein.
How many possible men are there in that doorway?
Not nearly as many as there are women.
Believing is a disposition. We could tire ourselves out thinking, if we put our minds to it, but believing takes no toll.
On the contrary, it can literally take the lives of hundreds…thousands…millions.
And so come the cults, claiming to meet the needs that science has thus far failed to meet–and offering the prospective inductee a place on the ground floor. Some cults may be harmless enough, but whenever false doctrine is propagated there is some cost.
The cult of Satyr for example.
Irrefragability, thy name is mathematics.
A little help here please.
