I Teach the Humanities, and I Still Don’t Know What Their Value Is

Einstein’s Philosophy of Science

Albert Einstein (1879–1955) is well known as the most prominent physicist of the twentieth century. His contributions to twentieth-century philosophy of science, though of comparable importance, are less well known. Einstein’s own philosophy of science is an original synthesis of elements drawn from sources as diverse as neo-Kantianism, conventionalism, and logical empiricism, its distinctive feature being its novel blending of realism with a holist, underdeterminationist form of conventionalism.

Every university philosophy department teaches the philosophy of science. Okay, quit blathering nonsense.

Until you derailed it with dozens of "I fucked your mother" posts. Sad.

He has a real big problem with anger issues

You and your sok need to stop trashing this forum.

Like you did with dozens of posts like this?:

I fucked your mother up the ass last night. She loved it.

Cypress proved you wrong and you call it "trashing this forum" yet you posted dozens of stalking and harassing posts without blinking an eye.

Why the hypocrisy?

Looks like Doc wants 15 troll posts in his notifications every day.

Banning you too, troll. Goodbye

She, although I think there's a possibility he could be trans or gay, based on personality, style and focus of her hatred.

Agreed on anger issues.

It is about the attack on the humanities in universities. Is that too hard for you to comprehend?

No, it's about some crazy woman supporting two baby daddys. There is no attack.

You are too fucking stupid to bother with.

Why come to a debate site if you refuse to talk to people

 

[Bigdog]

You are too fucking stupid to bother with.

Conspiracy theorist. you have no evidence that there is a plan to abolish the humanities.

I did not say that. Neither did the professor whose text I quoted. You are very fucking stupid.

Mentally unstable people are, by nature, irrational.

That's why this is not a current political event. Thank you.

You truly are a moron.

How is what I said "misogynist?" It's a valid observation.

If I said that guys go to college to get laid, would you think that was a "valid observation," or a snotty comment by a man-hating woman?

Good you bothered with him then.

They generally don't. But many women do go to college to find a suitable husband. It is a valid strategy for that purpose too. It isn't a "snotty comment" but a rational one. If you were a female and wanted to get married to a reliable, productive, and well-off man, chances are much greater of finding one on a college campus than in a dive bar. Getting a liberal arts education to put yourself in a better position at the same time is a double win.

And, there it is from someone with a lifetime of experience folks! Right from the insano's own mouth, so-to-speak...

You said Einstein wasn't philosophy.


A philosophy of science is not an undergraduate elective philosophy class. At best, it's an upper division class only philosophy majors might take.

A class about Einstein's philosophy of science would put people in the chairs, even non-philosophy majors if presented as a survey course.

If you want to save philosophy departments, you do not need to worry about upper division classes only a handful of philosophy majors take. You need interesting survey course electives that would appeal to the college Community at large.
