Then it really shouldn't be too hard for you to find an example, right? Why don't you give one?

I didn't reject the idea, I asked for an example, which you never gave. Can you please give me a concept in philosophy of science that is defined with...
May 19, 2022 at 21:04
No, I can tell you scientists aren't interested in that. It's not the role of science to try to paint a bigger picture of the reality, that's philosop...

Okay, I will make another thread because I don't think this is really relevant to the main question anymore.
May 19, 2022 at 18:54
I'm trying my best to explain the method I would use, which would be based on scientific theories, but you do not seem to want to know more about it. ...

"Can there be a proof of God?" This is an interesting question, but even if we can find a proof that God exists, can we also find a proof of how God w...

There : You referred to these branches of philosophy when I exposed my ideas (but never succeeded to prove how it matches). Okay, but I don't want to ...
May 19, 2022 at 18:09
That seems like a rule to me. I can't limit it to the physical world, that's what you said. Well, you keep telling me my ideas already are part of phi...

In summary you just said "I don't know how to respond but your opinion is wrong and I've got better things to do", thanks, very useful... We can feel ...
May 19, 2022 at 17:17
Yeah okay, I didn't use the right words. I meant based on scientific theories that are based on experiments, so the field itself wouldn't do experimen...

Something that can't be compared to art xD That is created following a rigorous method, which you and Tobias seemed to say was absent in philosophy. A...

And before there was a community, there must have been one or several person having the same idea and then gather together. I never said the independe...

Art shows creativity, it does not produce knowledge, unlike philosophy... Art doesn't publish papers... Where do you live? Have you ever been in acade...
May 19, 2022 at 15:58
Um what? I don't even know how to answer to that, you're basically saying the strongest minds are in the past and not in the future, how does that eve...
May 19, 2022 at 15:47
But it wouldn't be the same discipline... And if they spent all their time thinking about a problematic, I don't see how they would have less practice...
May 19, 2022 at 14:40
I'm asking your opinion, not your prediction. Why would it be bollocks? Okay, how about philosophy of mind and metaphysics? Better? The way you name i...
May 19, 2022 at 13:17
Okay, I'll try one more time. I've only been talking about an independent thinker from philosophy, meaning they could have knowledge about everything,...
May 19, 2022 at 12:33
Did we also invent cars by improving horse carriages? By the way do we know each other? I mean I don't know you but you seem to know me so well, crazy...
May 18, 2022 at 23:42
But what if the starting point isn't philosophy? It could still be original and wise, couldn't it? Do you mean : is science closer to wisdom than phil...
May 18, 2022 at 19:04
I used would instead of can to picture a "perfect" version of both, but maybe it wasn't obvious. Because you could have an academic philosopher who is...
May 18, 2022 at 18:22
I guess it means no then, thanks for spamming this topic.
May 18, 2022 at 16:37
I wasn't trying to make a point yet, you reacted to a part of my post which said philosophical theories don't try to have scientific grounds but mostl...
May 18, 2022 at 16:34
Okay, can you give me an example of one of their theories that have scientific grounds ?
May 18, 2022 at 16:28
I used the word "independent" because it's the best adjective I could find to describe the profile I wanted to talk about, but of course it's impossib...
May 18, 2022 at 16:25
Nice ! So what kind of philosophy helped you with that self control ? Was that something you read or something you learned over time by yourself ? You...
May 08, 2022 at 13:32
What's a perfect definition anyway ? We assigned words to concepts and things we see and experience, and these words either represent a category of th...
