Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity In this paper, Sokal proves that quantum gravity is a social construct. This caused a huge uproar because it lead huge parts of academia ad absurdum. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal_affair That's hilarious. :D Not surprising, but hilarious! So is philosophy the social science of social sciences, in the sense that other social sciences find philosophy not really serious and full of hippies? | ||

I'm not a scientist, but I think philosophy, especially abstract philosophy, is pretty close to being worthless. I dunno, I had this discussion before, and some philosophy-supporters got pretty mad at me. | ||

Soon you will find yourself doing philosophy with philosophers about the usefulness of philosophy. Yes, that's more or less what I'd guess as well, and I have no desire to go there. Which is why I phrased the question towards the other social sciences, not towards the philosophers themselves.  | ||

I'm fine with social sciences as long as they stay descriptive by merely presenting collected data. Knowing that half the population is obese may be of some value for example. It gets problematic when they start interpreting the data and shit gets really real when it turns into "social critique" and "symbolism". Then I honestly don't see how they differentiate themselves from philosophy. | ||

Then I honestly don't see how they differentiate themselves from philosophy. I'd also be fine with social science (psychology, economy, teaching and learning, political sciences, history, etc) if they'd do the science properly. But well, you know...  For the record, I'd group obesity in medicine, which I wouldn't really call social science (although medicine share some issues with social sciences).Anyway, I'm curious to know if those sciences look down a bit on philosophy in the same way that the natural sciences look down on the social sciences. Hopefully without going into a debate on whether it's motivated or not, but we'll see. :o | ||
