    Iua, here's another try:

    Question: How do you judge whether the scientific method is useful?

    You might answer: Because it works!

    And the thing is that "because it works!" is a philosophical position not a scientific one. Do you agree?


    No, I do not. When I say it works, it is shorthand for all of the evidence that you and I can drown in that conducting experiments without this method gives conflicting and unreliable results.

    Question: How did mathematics find its way into the scientific method?

    Mathematics by its nature, can't be empirically tested. How can one judge whether the usage of mathematics in science is useful?


    You know what, I hate to do this, but at this point I'm going to have to ask you to give me your definition for "empirical evidence," if you don't mind. Just so we can be clear. And also explain to me how mathematics is "in" the scientific method.

    Consider the claim that you just made: "all of the evidence that you and I can drown in that conducting experiments without this method gives conflicting and unreliable results."

    Is that a scientific claim or a philosophical one?

    In order to determine that, we can test it against the Line of Demarcation: A theory is scientific if it can, in principle, be ruled out by empirical evidence.

    So, can your claim be ruled out by empirical evidence? If so, please explain what empirical evidence could rule out your claim.

    If not, then your claim is philosophical, not scientific.

    I think something you're kind of overlooking here is that you can use the scientific method perfectly, absolutely perfectly, and still get your failed experiments.

    By "failed experiments" I think you mean an experiment that didn't produce any result. If that's what you mean, I agree. Though I don't see how this relates to our discussion.
    Quote from: lua on April 06, 2015, 08:32 PM
    You still get the wrong answer. And the right answer comes about when you've discovered it and tested it using the same theory but a different approach, and what you compare or analyze is the data from whatever you've done.

    The order to interpret your data is not an interpretation. The scientific method is not an interpretation. It is not evidence, either. It's a method.

    I'm not following what you're saying. Are you saying that interpreting the data isn't an interpretation? I wonder if I'm just not reading your sentence right.

    Yes, sometimes? It depends on the experiment that you used the scientific method for? So...because some data sets use statistics, and statistics is part of mathematics, and data is part of the scientific method, the scientific method has mathematics in it?

    Probably could have worded that a bit better. But no, you'll get a result, but while it ostensibly supports or refutes your thesis, it winds up (as shown by future experiments) not being the case.

    Oh I see.  Ya people could have

    1. made errors while doing the experiment.

    2. or the experimental design was itself flawed such that it can't actually test the prediction of the scientific theory.

    3. or there was a flaw that the scientist made in his prediction from the scientific theory, such that the experiment doesn't actually test the theory.

    So, what would it take to find these mistakes?

    Could #3 be found by testing it against empirical evidence? No. #3 is an interpretation that a scientist made about what predictions a scientific theory makes. And the only way to correct a wrong prediction is by philosophical criticism.

    I said that the scientific method is a philosophical theory. This does not imply that the scientific method doesn't work.

    Do you think that if a theory is philosophical then it's false (doesn't work)? If not, then how did you come up with your idea (that I think the scientific method doesn't work)?

    I wonder if your disagreement stems from misunderstanding my position. Somehow you think that I think that the scientific method doesn't work. And I don't get how you came to that conclusion.

    Quote from: RamiRustom on April 06, 2015, 01:28 PM
    Ok I'll clarify. At one point, we had created and used the scientific method, let's call it SM34.

    Then comes Karl Popper who figures out that there is a mistake that lots of scientists are committing, and he figures out the solution to it. This solution refutes SM34 and creates a new scientific method SM35.

    SM35 is SM34 with one extra component, the Line of Demarcation.

    The Line of Demarcation explains that:

    A scientific theory is a theory which can, in principle, be refuted by empirical evidence.

    This implies that any theory which cannot, in principle, be refuted by empirical evidence, is non-scientific.

    So, anybody who claims to be doing science, and if his supposed "scientific" theory cannot, in principle, be refuted by empirical evidence, then he's not doing science.

    Do you agree with Popper's Line of Demarcation?

    If you do, my next point is this: What did it take to refute SM34? Was it the case that SM34 made empirical predictions and we found that it's predictions contradicted empirical evidence? No that's not what happened. SM34 doesn't make any empirical predictions and so we can't test it against empirical evidence. What we did was use philosophical criticism to refute SM34.


    Good example  Afro Popper did make a splash I agree with. The last of your comment is part of the philosophy of science which I also agree with.

    No. Here's an example.

    TheoryA: "The truth is, there is no truth."

    Is it possible to refute TheoryA by empirical evidence?


    Contradictory theory. It can be refuted by examples of truth statements. Life exists, this is true. Although it is not required given my former point.

    So you're saying if I put one apple next to another apple I cannot observe with my senses that there aren't a fucktillion apples on the table now and that there are actually two?

    That's not the same claim. The claim you're talking about is:

    - Take 1 apple and put it on an empty table and put another 1 apple next to it and that results in 2 apples being on the table.

    Yes you can test this claim with empirical evidence. You can do it and if you see 1 apple, or 3 or more apples, then you’ve refuted the claim.

    But you can't use your concrete claim to create an abstract claim (like 1+1=2) without a bunch of philosophical claims to go with it.

    To clarify my point, consider another similar concrete claim:

    - Take 1 body of water and another 1 body of water put (poured) next to it and that results in 1 body of water.

    If you just try to take this concrete claim and create an abstract claim from it, without any extra philosophical claims, you'd get 1+1=1, which is false.

    Do you see what I mean by that you can't do this stuff without philosophical claims?

    For those having issues with Rami's statements maybe I can help. Empiricism was a shift in natural philosophy away from rationalism toward evidence based ideas as the primary source of knowledge. Both use information from personal sense, observation/perception, as the starting point. From this point rationalist will use reasoning to "warrant" belief in an idea as true, empiricists use evidence foremost to warrant belief. This divide is largely a facade as view use an either or view. The divide is based on which has priority, evidence or reason.

    For example look at some cosmological arguments; first cause, contingency, etc. These arguments use both evidence and reason for the ground work of the idea but can create different conclusions, or lack one. For the first cause one can merely observe themselves. For example witnessing the birth of one's child and grandchildren can be uses as the basis for a cause and contingency. The child's cause are their parent, the grandchild's cause is their parent and their grandparent. For the empiricist this is also evidence. So both methods of thought use the same data as a starting point. The rationalist can use this point to create the idea of causality by using more data then I have provided above toward a conclusion of "Everything that begins to exist has a cause", Kalem. The empiricist would not make this conclusion due to a lack of data. Unknown objects have no evidence, per being unknown, so one should not conclude what is true for X is true for unknown Y.  The empiricist would point of we can identify a cause linked to an effect thus This is a strict divide between views really does not exist for the majority of scientists and philosophers. Which method warrants belief in an idea as true thus is true knowledge. William Lane Craig is an example of rationalist as evidence only provides support to reason. A physicist would be the closest to a empiricist view since evidence has a priority and is require for any conclusion.

    An issue today is empiricism is largely confined to the sciences. This has left philosophy as an interesting and relevant career path but an unprofitable one. The opportunities for advancement are confined largely to teaching where as the sciences are not. This has caused philosophy to become dependent on the sciences for it's personal sense experiences. For science it has become divorced from the philosophy of science and it's hard questions. How much evidence is required to support a theory? Should the amount of evidence increase as the theory becomes increasingly complex? Is verification more reliable than falsification, read Popper regarding this point. Sciences often only teach the method but not the philosophy behind it.

    It seems like I am the only one that agrees with Rami.

    I'm not clear on what you mean here, but I'm guessing you're saying that empirical evidence has a priority over philosophical theories/criticism. If that's what you mean, that's not right.

    In _The Beginning of Infinity_, David Deutsch (who is a physicist) says: "The overwhelming majority of theories are rejected because they contain bad explanations, not because they fail experimental tests."

    So he's identifying philosophy as the thing that refutes more scientific theories than compared to empirical evidence.


    Quote from: Bogart
    How much evidence is required to support a theory?

    Bad question. Evidence doesn't work by supporting theories. Instead it works by refuting theories. Let me know if you'd like to discuss this (we should start a new thread).
    Quote from: Bogart

    What do you mean by amount of evidence? Why would amount matter? I think this question is bad for the same reason as the previous question.

    My examples were to point of established divide between those that favour empiricism or rationalism as extremes. It was not part of philosophical theories but the filter which an individual uses. For Craig the conclusion no matter the evidence provided by physicists ultimately rests on a cause which he defines as God. One could attack his argument in a number of ways such as the negative definition of God; timeless, formless, etc. One could also press for details. How does a timeless entity act without time? How can one identify the cause and the effect without time and spatial references?

    I know it was a bad question, that was the point. I have read Popper and agree with him. One can produce verification for any number of ideas but all it take is one piece of evidence or faulty think it rendering all the verification moot

    Quote

    It was a play on Hitchen's "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" Look at the conflict between ID and Evolution. There is a myriad of different requirements proposed by supports of each group. Again an example of people taking passed each other. It is the fascination with evidence that is still dominate, the outdated SM if you will.

    Yes it is connected, it was to show the previous dominate verification view being questioned by falsification. It was not a mistake but to make a point.

    Like I said earlier I have read Popper. I have interacted with Temple on his website. All the flawed questions were for a purpose covered by their work just put forward on the thread.

    This is due to the requirement of many to produce results. Look at pharmaceuticals in which results net more funding and profite. Science is becoming industrialized by corporations wanting to sell you something.

    The post in the OP is excellent.

    As for the ongoing debate, I'm no Philosophy major, but I think I understand a bit of the points on all sides and maybe where the differences of opinion are too.

    What we call "Science" is itself a Philosophical assertion, not least because the Scientific Method relies on "Logic" which is a philosophical concept. Now, there are times when this Scientific Method results in correct interpretations of reality (finding cures for diseases, fine tuning a renewable energy extraction method, etc.), but the method itself is rooted in philosophical concepts (Logic being 1 of them) going back to pre-Hellenic times. And even now, science is basically applied philosophy. There's nothing degrading to science for us to admit that. I see the antagonism between 'science' and 'philosophy' but I don't think it's necessary. I think it's a matter of team science thinking that team philosophy is wasting time overthinking things, while team philosophy thinks that team science is not thinking about the underlying assumptions of science (and hence its possible blind spots).

    I like both TBH. I like it when they inform each other.

    No, please don't slink away, because this is exactly the answer I was asking for with my first post and you would've saved me like three pages of going in circles about theories if you had responded back then. Rami, if this is what you were really trying to say when you said the scientific method is a philosophy, because it's based on logic which is a philosophical ordeal and all that, then fine, I can get behind that. Or at least I can see where you're coming from. Getting behind it might still be a bit strong. Because:

    That's not the same claim. The claim you're talking about is:

    - Take 1 apple and put it on an empty table and put another 1 apple next to it and that results in 2 apples being on the table.

    Yes you can test this claim with empirical evidence. You can do it and if you see 1 apple, or 3 or more apples, then you’ve refuted the claim.

    But you can't use your concrete claim to create an abstract claim (like 1+1=2) without a bunch of philosophical claims to go with it.

    To clarify my point, consider another similar concrete claim:

    - Take 1 body of water and another 1 body of water put (poured) next to it and that results in 1 body of water.

    If you just try to take this concrete claim and create an abstract claim from it, without any extra philosophical claims, you'd get 1+1=1, which is false.

    Do you see what I mean by that you can't do this stuff without philosophical claims?


    ...Well, in this case I'd say what you have on your hands is a unit problem. Cheesy You have a gallon of water on the ground and you pour another gallon of water near it and it joins, you have one body of water, sure, but that shit's 2 gallons now. Grin

    Qtian just can't stay away from the debate:

    No, Qtian has been in my ear and in Rami's ear and just behind the scenes this whole time wringing his hands and cackling as we amuse him.

    I'm a million percent guilty as charged here, anyway. Grin Our Qtian has been trying to get me to learn more about philosophy, and...inshallah. I'm sure in the end you're right. And, like forcing myself to consume vegetables, I know I should learn more about philosophy, but...

    Philosophy is rather like psychology in the sense that the more you learn, the more your mind adapts to this way of thinking, the more you see things in ways you never did before. It's a worthwhile pursuit in my opinion.
    `But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
     `Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad.  You're mad.'
     `How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
     `You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'
