Episode 93: Philosophical Theories vs Bad Explanations
Manage episode 440394975 series 2853322
Can philosophical theories be refuted? What is a bad explanation? Can all theories be made more empirical?
In search of an answer to these questions, Bruce takes a deep dive into what he believes is the correct way to apply “Popper’s ratchet” to metaphysical or philosophical theories. Along the way, Bruce puts forward a generalization of testability he calls “checkability” and explains why “vague-maning” our theories is “worse than dogmatism.”
