For @SamHarrisOrg logic = science. Nope. Logic tells you what is possible; science, what is actual (provisionally). http://bit.ly/1a4bpr8

@SamHarrisOrg Right, science uses logic, but is really about empiricism (which logic isn't). So science and logic/rationality are different -
@SamHarrisOrg And therefore you can't subsume all other kinds of human rationality under science, as you suggest. -
@MultipleDraftz@SamHarrisOrg If a fundamental element of science is logic, then it does subsume it. Logic and science are inseparable. -
@Ameriman1984@SamHarrisOrg Just because science uses logic, it doesn't subsume it, otherwise doing logic wld be doing science, and it isn't -
@MultipleDraftz@Ameriman1984@SamHarrisOrg What about using logic isn't scientific? If the aim is to understand reality, that's science. -
@Ameriman1984@SamHarrisOrg Srsly? There's nothing unscientific abt logic, but you can be an expert in logic and know no science at all. -
@MultipleDraftz@SamHarrisOrg That's if you're defining science in the narrowest possible terms. -
@Ameriman1984@SamHarrisOrg No, it isn't. It's based on an understanding of the nature of logic, the a priori, and the way science works. - 4 more replies
