If you, or one of your students, can overcome it that would be great. Dear Stephen Garvey, I appreciate the response and thank you for taking the time to enlighten me in many of the errors I was, unfortunately, ignorant about. I don't consider this a constraint, but rather a beneficial tool for scientists and philosophers alike. Without it, progress would be seriously hindered by unfounded or completely ridiculous postulations and beliefs. The same can be said for both of our respective fields.
Reason is an invaluable commodity upon which the foundations of both exist.
Reason is progression, so perhaps, science and philosophy are intertwined at some level and most certainly, dependant. Without reason, progress would be seriously hindered by unfounded or completely ridiculous postulations and beliefs. By the same token, so-called progress could be seriously hindered by reason. Reason and knowledge are not absolute. They bottom out into an unknown.
