PHIL 375 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Intertextuality, Monism, Falsifiability
Document Summary
Phil 375 lecture 13: a thick metaphysics is one that concludes that a substantial part of reality (perhaps even the knowable part of reality) is metaphysical and therefore outside the domain of science. Humans can know answers to and should think about metaphysical questions: a thin metaphysics is one that is dismissive of the human ability to have substantial metaphysical insight. The logic of thought and the observations of science are our best tools to find out what is important to us, but their results do not include metaphysically substantial claims thick thick thin.
