Comment on unleash your humanities
daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoI only consider science those fields that can describe nature and assert this depiction of nature vie repeatable experiments. Thus I don’t agree on philosophy being a science.
I algo don’t agree that a professional would have better morals than me. Due the personal nature of what morality is.
Imagine I say my morals are the best, how is any professional philosopher to prove me wrong? It’s not possible. But if I say that “climate change is not real” a lot of climate scientist could show me evidence and offer me a set of experiments to undoubtedly prove me wrong.

What we now call science developed directly out of philosophy.

And the bible used to be considered an explanation on the origins of earth and the human being.
Luckily as time goes on humanity have been able to understand nature in better ways than it used to.

That is so utterly stupid that it shows why you should take a philosophy course.

I actually have. And I have read a LOT and I mean a LOT of philosophy.
All the great philosophers of history to begin with. I have read all their most famous works. And I have enjoyed them.
But I still think they are not science, as they do not describe nature. They just give opinions on several matters. And the few who dared to make any predictions about the future failed miserably.
