ANTI-PHILOSOPHY

Science is a method by which we attempt to remove error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, theology, pseudo-rationalism, pseudoscience) from our thoughts and speech. It’s purely reductive.

1 – Categories are the methods by which we test names for consistency of state, properties and relations.

2 – The logics are methods by which we test dimensions for internal consistency.

3 – The empirical is the method by which we test for external consistency (correspondence).

4 – The operational is the method by which we test for existential possibility.

5 – Reciprocity is the method by which we test for morality.

6 – Limits (and full accounting) are the method by which we test for parsimony and completeness.

Literature is the method by which we construct and communicate fantasies (generate possibilities which we can then test by Scientific Means.

Philosophical literature is a conflation of fantasy moral literature combined with insufficient testing. In other words, it’s deception. 😉 Hence why philosophers have been accused of doing far more harm than good.

We read philosophy in order to obtain ideas.

We read and practice science in order to sift what little truth is contained in them.

Via Positiva (ideas through free association), Via Negativa (survival from criticism), Via Deceptio ( advocacy without supplying the full suite of criticisms )

I have seen precious little in philosophy that is other than an attempt to create a literary moral alternative to theology.

ANOTHER VIEW

Physical Science (external correspondence)

Law (reciprocity)

Logic (internal consistency)

Accounting (scope)

Testimony (language)
