Really, Kuci, you are being a ******. Who else uses it as much as we do?

When was the last time a scientific thesis was established by solely logical proof?
I suppose some of the mathematicians might do something similar, but in a limited context.Only feebs vote.Comment

Mathematics IS pure, absolutely rigorous logical deduction.
Most physics is very nearly so, with a little bit of empirical justification added.
Philosophy doesn't come close.Comment

If you think that mathematics is solely logical... perhaps. But their uses are pretty limited.Originally posted by Kuciwalker

Most of it has no concern with truth values, so that's a bit odd.
So physics is a priori now? Descartes would be pleased.Most physics is very nearly so, with a little bit of empirical justification added.

Because I said that no-one uses it as much as we do. Please show me a discipline that uses logic more than us.Originally posted by Kuciwalker

QFT. Owned once more.

No, but it's rigorous.
Comparing a physical or mathematical argument to the ones I've read presented by various philosophers... there's almost no rigor at all. Unless you're just talking logical syllogisms. Do people hit you on the head a lot for saying stupid things?

So you're telling me that mathematics, which has lots of different branches including statistics and so on is solely concerned with logic, and that physics, an empirical discipline (that prides itself on being the most rigorous and truthful response to the evidence) really is just a logical discipline.
That's absolute ****. Your parents should sue your school.
What would a physical "argument" be, pray tell? And how would it be solely logical?Only feebs vote.Comment

Well logic deals with truth values, and truth functions, but formal logic has no metaphysical or epistemological account of truth itself (be it correspondence or coherence or whatever).
If you're Wittgenstein, logical truth is merely tautology anyway, so logical truths cannot reveal any new or useful information.
I find it weird that Kuci would think that mathematics and physics, two disciplines that have considerable involvement with empirical claims should be more "logical" than a discipline which focuses on argument to the exclusion of empirical claims.
That is, unless he is misusing the term "logic".Only feebs vote.Comment
