People in #philosophy who make pronouncements about "the limits of #science" puzzle me - when did they solve the demarcation problem?

@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"

@lastpositivist Slightly bemused by that. I can't think of a context in which English Lit would be described as science. -
@cathyby Well I know of people doing large scale empirical studies to answer questions about literature and our appreciation of it... - Show replies

@lastpositivist Not that English Lit isn't deserving of honorific, but because in normal human language the 2 fuzzy categories don't overlapThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
