What's wrong with positivism and why are the humanities often hostile to it?
Why did you employ the Kantian notions of "reason" and "intuition" in the contrary way to their usage by Kant? Isn't reason the speculative faculty of the mind, whereas intuition denotes whatever is to apprehended by the senses?
My dear sir, are you an idiot? Did you not realise that Nietzsche's epistemology is "ego-death" WRIT LARGE? The basis of his "perspectivism" and "experimentality" is the critique of the Cartesian and Kantian auto-reflexive "I-am-I". Friedrich says from the existence of a cogito only cogitationes could ever be inferred, which means thoughts are derived from thinking, but these thoughts cannot necessarily be predicated of a "self" or an "I" as their emanations or attributes.

It's destroying civilisation. Also, it's wrong.

Because "hurr durr only scientific truth is true" literally causes nihilism in people.

but this is mostly an issue with logical positivism

It's more like it destroy the thatness of humanity. It puts an ideal outside of it to strive for, *alien*ating it. It makes people foreign to everything around themselves.
