>The aggregate output of philosophy as a process for negotiating a shared understanding of "what is true and what to do about it" is the foundation upon which societies thoughts rest. If that makes sense? Can't agree with this. Nothing can be verified to be true. The undertaking is impossible. We can only identify correlations to a degree and causation to a degree. >we have found that the very foundation we thought was Rock solid doesn't appear to hold for the social sciences. Science is known not to be rock solid. It is based on statistics which is based on the theory of probability. We use probability to establish correlation to a degree and causation to a degree. But this is based off of the assumption that the set of axioms and theorems from probability theory applies to the real world. It's self referential and unverifiable: By probability, probability is correlated with reality. The replication crisis is not a philosophical problem but a problem with bias. Research studies are choosing biased samples and making biased observations. We have no indication as of yet that it is pointing to some fundamental flaws in probability. This is the limit of what we can do. If philosophy purports to go deeper and further, I'll have to disagree. |
