People in #philosophy who make pronouncements about "the limits of #science" puzzle me - when did they solve the demarcation problem?
-
@lastpositivist Does talking re limits imply demarcation solved? I think we can know eg ethics beyond the limits without exact demarcation.
@cathyby ... on a loose enough definition of science maybe ethical theory is a science after all.

@lastpositivist There you are coming up with the same problem with defining "supernatural". Any definition of science that seems plausible >Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@lastpositivist < as of now seems unlikely to include ethics. Can what is tell us what ought to be? -
@cathyby@lastpositivist Assumes (i) science can't study what ought to be; (ii) ethics isn't about what is (including facts about oughts). - Show replies
