I don't like the empirical method. why? because basically it says that everything humans can't explain doesn't exist. If that isn't closed minded then I don't know what is. By using the empirical method your mind does not exist. We all know that isn't true. Every living person has a mind regardless of it's health.

QUOTE(sikdragon @ Sep 8 2004, 11:40 PM) No, let's say you gave me an invisible box. I use the empirical method and conclude nothing is there. <That is closed minded. Using Empircal Method the RIGHT WAY, I would deduct that because you gave me an "invisible box" you're trying to toy with my mind/play/making a point and try to think first what you're trying to do. Then I would proceed to ask you, "why do you want me to have an invisible box?"  << which is part of deductive reasoning (using my senses and experience). If you happen to answer: because we're going imagining/believe that there is a box, then I would comply with your game to entertain you with the idea that something's "there". If you happen to answer: because I'm trying to prove that empericists are closed-minded, then I would say "you're going about this the wrong way". |
