Rationality in Fundamentalist and Anti-Fundamentalist Phi-losophy
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
In this article, after reviewing the difference between fundamentalist and anti-fundamentalist philosophy, the features of the rationality will be explained from the perspective of five anti-fundamentalist philosophers (Habermas, Richard Rorty, MacIntyre, Michel Foucault and Hayek). The common point stated by all these philosophers is that they all criticize metaphysics and doubt about the basis of fundamentalist narrative on the world that rely on two predicates: first, the world has rational constitution and it is possible to reduce it to precise mathematical relations and second, that basis of the world is reflected totally in the mind of human beings.

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how a general metaphysical framework can be fruitfully integrated with contemporary fundamental physics to help advance our understanding of quantum ontology. The basic idea is that metaphysics concerns fundamental reality and how fundamental reality is related to reality. If we accept that fundamental reality includes fundamental physics, then the invest...
full textReductive Identities: an Empirical Fundamentalist Approach
I sketch a philosophical program called ‘Empirical Fundamentalism,’ whose signature feature is the extensive use of a distinction between fundamental and derivative reality. Within the framework of Empirical Fundamentalism, derivative reality is treated as an abstraction from fundamental reality. I show how one can understand reduction and supervenience in terms of abstraction, and then I apply...
