Title: Justine Kingsbury (Waikato)
The philosophical use and misuse of science
Philosophers often appeal to scientific results and scientific theories in
support of philosophical conclusions, and so they should: surely
philosophical theories should be informed by, or at the very least
consistent with, our best science. However, this needs to be done with
care. Which is the good science? How can we identify it? Many philosophers
appeal to new and/or highly speculative scientific theories (mirror neuron
theory is an example): are there any philosophical uses to which such
theories can legitimately be put, and if so, what are they? This paper
identifies some of the pitfalls involved in philosophical appeals to
science, and makes some suggestions about how to avoid them.
