People in #philosophy who make pronouncements about "the limits of #science" puzzle me - when did they solve the demarcation problem?
-
@lastpositivist Y'see, I don't see "scientific" as a honorific. I think demarcation of science has at least decided on that :)
@cathyby My guess: the only reason to care about Demarcation at all is the honorific use - otherwise, why worry about what is(n't) science?

@lastpositivist To argue against imperialistic tendencies of science :) -
@cathyby I don't really mind scientists' imperialism. They go around trying to generate knowledge by doing cool stuff. What's not to like? - Show replies

@lastpositivist DO you say that, right now, English Lit is science? We know there is no a priori reason not, else no demarcation prob. -
@cathyby I guess I don't know what the question means - so I can't do anything more satisfying than say "I wouldn't normally say that" - Show replies
