DM: Up to this point I was almost with you, then you claim
that science can cramp metaphysics, why? how? No it can't.
In a way your throw away comment should not be taken so
seriously, but look you seem to think science has an
influence on metaphysics, well No! this is over extension,
a false claim of authority and scientism. And if we open the
gates, we let through all the other crap, like the very dodgy
politics that so many evolutionary psychologists seem to
try and justify (See John Dupre: Human Nature and the Limits
of Science). Science is great but without the fantasy based
over extensions please.
[Case]
I was referring to a metaphysics completely divorce from any contact with
experience. Such a metaphysics is safe as long is does not cross science's
path. History is riddled with the corpses of such as these.
