The natural sciences are the best means we have to acquire reliable knowledge and thus to address all kinds of philosophical issues. So, why not settle for science and give up on philosophy?

Abstract
The natural sciences are the best means we have to acquire reliable knowledge and thus to address all kinds of philosophical issues. So, why not settle for science and give up on philosophy? Here I discuss Nannini’s answer to this question. He suggests that philosophy should be preserved, but only on condition that it becomes a form of encyclopedism in the sense meant by logical empiricism. I agree with his perspective, but try to show that the proposed encyclopedic unification of the sciences can be conceptualized as following either a pyramidal or mosaic pattern. While Nannini argues for the former arrangement, I defend the latter.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
