@gilesgoatboy @mentalguy Gödel's theorems do not apply to philosophy.
@ReinH @gilesgoatboy @mentalguy The philosophical implications of incompleteness are in the failures of Principia Mathematica and Tractatus

@bascule@gilesgoatboy@mentalguy It's nice to think about how philosophy is an incomplete system but Gödel doesn't prove it. -
@ReinH@gilesgoatboy@mentalguy he proved it's impossible to complete a work like PM and in doing so pretty much killed logical positivism -
@bascule@gilesgoatboy@mentalguy Ironically, Godel was a positivist and later a phenomenologist. He was also clear that neither is science. -
@ReinH@gilesgoatboy@mentalguy yes Godel participated in the Vienna Circle and was a huge opponent of Tractatus -
@bascule@gilesgoatboy@mentalguy Let me quote Godel for you: https://gist.github.com/3965850
