Reply to For world philosophy day 13 thinkers share the philosophical questions that will define this century | Including Noam Chomsky on destruction, Naomi Oreskes on climate crisis and Carissa Veliz on innovation by IAI_Admin

Regarding climate crisis:The qustion is where we have to put our sincere efforts when we have the

following two options in front of us.

Ether on 1.going for technologies to reduce the effects of man-made environmental destruction

or on 2.changing our own habits so as to reduce our consumption levels.

The first option results in an endless effort while the second one has a sure end.

But at present it appears that the second option is unmentionable.

Reply to Logical positivism does not dispense with metaphysics, as it aimed to. It merely proposes a different kind of metaphysics, in which natural sciences take the privileged position once occupied by rationalist metaphysics. by IAI_Admin

The conclusions of scientific knowing are superior to all other forms of knowing and hence more trustworthy.Theoretical scientific knowledge is empirically verified knowledge.Logical positivism

diluted this verification and created metaphysics.
