What is human nature?

is your fridge running?

1. Can you derive normative statements from descriptive statements (is/ought problem)

2. Are normative statements even meaningful?

3. What formal system should serve as the foundation for all of modern mathematics: axiomatic set theory, category theory, homotopy type theory, or some other framework

4. How do we unify General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics?

Science is a description of nature. It's the rational approach to understanding the world.
Philosophy is trying to fathom life and figure out how to live. They are completely different from each other because they talk about completely different subjects.

It is rather safe to assume, just by reading the very first two sentences of your post, that you have a superficial, if any at all, understanding of either science or philosophy, and the interplay of both.

>Science is a description of nature.
You have successfully and unwittingly assumed a bunch of things you're clearly unaware of in asserting this. There's a good chance you couldn't argue your way out of a paper bag if you were pressed to define "Science". Corollary: what does it mean for something to be a scientific description? The notion of "nature" is perhaps most controversial of all as the notion hinges on whether or not naive realism, idealism, or phenomenalism, is the correct interpretation of reality. I'm not gonna touch on much else of what you wrote, but sprinkling your sentences with "rational" isn't helping--based on what you wrote you would have a hard time even defining the notion.

Go read some contemporary philosophy of science and metaphysics please. Why are we still rewarding ignorance on /lit/ is beyond me.

PHIL double major reporting for duty.
You could not be more wrong.
Yes, many ranking philosophical proponents have directly or indirectly influenced the sciences and the scientific method; nonetheless science and Phil are not one in the same, or even remotely related.
(hard pill to swallow, I know; took me a little while)

>>10009971
Why?

>>10010245
>or even remotely related.

This is patently false. One need only look at the influence that particular philosophies of science (falsificationism and positivism particularly) have had on scientist's own conceptions of what they're doing and what constitutes proper scientific theorizing as well as the implicit philosophies (instrumentalism, realism) that all scientists adopt in the construction of physical models.

>>10010051
the impetus for that question comes directly out of attempts to resolve the measurement problem (a major philosophical problem in the philosophy of physics) and the dissension between the apparent non-locality exhibited in nature (a rare case of experimental metaphysics) and the formalism of special relativity

See? You read something and immediately presume it to be true.

>>10010004
>2. Are normative statements even meaningful?
Science is elusively normative statements.
>1. Can you derive normative statements from descriptive statements (is/ought problem)
You STEMspergs do this all the time, and base all your nonsense upon it.
>3. What formal system should serve as the foundation for all of modern mathematics: axiomatic set theory, category theory, homotopy type theory, or some other framework
Mathematics is an irrelevant systematic pile of horseshit.

They're both invalid, so they should be tossed into the grinder and burned away rather than even acknowledged.

>>10011847
How do you account for the phone you're posting from working on both of those theories?

>>10013362
I think the answer to this is more benign than anything. In an infinite series something will occur.

The better question is why can there be nothing? Is nothingness a construct we've made as an approximation for what we cannot perceive? Does the idea of nothingness entirely contradict the possibility of nothingness since even without a universe, all ideas exist separate of being? Is that second statement itself confidence in objective reality or a necessity for humans to be able to make sense of anything?

>>10013489
Follow up: the modern physics discipline examines that reality exists only as we observe it (the more we look, the more is real). Is this the same for though? Was communism 'real' before it was conceptualized?

please never post here ever again thank you

1) Do you think that the task of philosophy is not to offer conclusive answers but to ask better questions? Justify your answer.

2) If everything is relative, is this sentence relative as well?

3) If the aim of philosophy is to know ourselves and, as Kant says, one should not learn philosophy but to philosophize, why the teaching of this discipline is structured from what others thought, normally dead white males? To what extent do we learn to philosophize or do we know ourselves by memorizing what a Greek, Roman, French, German, or Anglo-Saxon did or did decades ago, centuries or millennia?

4) Do you agree with Wittgenstein that "Whereof one cannot speak thereof one must be silent"? Explain exactly what can not be spoken.

5) Most modern philosophers did not make a living working as high school or college professors. Descartes was advisor to queens; Spinoza, lens polisher; Locke, surgeon; Leibniz, diplomat; Berkeley, pattern of a slave plantation; Hume, librarian; Schopenhauer, rentier. Why, then, did professors of philosophy defend their departments and faculties as if they were the last trench of Western thought, since from the sixteenth century practically all philosophical innovations have come from outside those faculties and departments?

You're not even that guy but being a snarky faggot anyway? What viewpoints have I stated that I need to defend? None? Oh. The question doesn't warrant an answer because its retarded. You study what the most intelligent people thought because its the only thing to relate to besides your own thought. You don't read black lesbians to learn philosophy. The entire question is retarded and made by some nitwit PC professor, its meant to conclude that you can also read black lesbians and get as much out of them if you want to "philosophize".

I feel like this question's been lingering on the forefront of political controversy for a while, and is just one big event away from being a large, divisive issue. Now on 4chan the discussion is going to be pretty one sided, but I feel that we're going to see a lot more on this very soon.
