Copied Philosophy and the 'Dazzling Ideal' of Science
Philosophy and the 'Dazzling Ideal' of Science
Recent decades have seen attacks on philosophy as an irrelevant field of inquiry when compared with science. In this book, Graham McFee defends the claims of philosophy against attempts to minimize either philosophys possibility or its importance by deploying a contrast with what Wittgenstein characterized as the dazzling ideal of science. This dazzling ideal incorporates both the imagined completeness of scientific explanationwhereby completing its project would leave nothing unexplainedand the exceptionless character of the associated conception of causality. On such a scientistic world-view, what need is there for philosophy? In his defense of philosophy (and its truth-claims), McFee shows that rejecting such scientism is not automatically anti-scientific, and that it permits granting to natural science (properly understood) its own truth-generating power. Further, McFee argues for contextualism in the project of philosophy, and sets aside the pervasive(and pernicious) requirement for exceptionless generalizations while relating his account to interconnections between the concepts of person, substance, agency, and causation.
