Philosophy: “Testimonial Science”
Well, we usually define philosophy as either the love of wisdom – in the ancient sense – or in the modern sense, the search for truth.
My work is an effort to define truth, so that we can prohibit falsehood and the use of falsehood as a means of theft, parasitism, predation and conquest.
So as far as I know I have produced the most total definition of truth and means of identifying it as has been achieved as yet. (and it seems hard to do better really.)
This definition of truth causes the convergence of biology, morality, philosophy, law, and science. Which is in itself an achievement, and we call this kind of utility “explanatory power”. This truth has a great deal of explanatory power.
I call this ‘existentially possible’ and ‘complete’ truth “Testimonial Truth”.
And since science and philosophy are merged by using this definition of truth, I argue that philosophy should be reframed (relabeled) as “Testimonial Science”.
Meaning, the science of speaking the truth.
