ah, I see.
Good luck with that.
The transcendental... whatever that is... does it exist? I mean, does it exist out of human minds or thoughts?
Philosophy... you are aware that science is a branch of philosophy, right? That's why scientists with a doctorate degree are PhDs.... philosophiae doctor.
But you must mean some other branch of philosophy... right?
from the wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy Wrote:Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument.Sounds a lot like science to me.... but I'm just a faulty human being... what does my view matter?
well in some ways you already have limited experience of the transendental when you look at a painting and it stirs something inside of you and you decide its good, someone else looks at it and says its rubbish. Can science be brought to bear on it to prove you are wrong to have those positive feelings about the painting and stop you having those feelings?
