The rejection of evaluation of metaphysics was the downfall of Logical Positivism, which was demonstrated to be self refuting. Science has metaphysical assumptions embedded in it. Whether we can distinguish properties or models between physical and non physical is a claim that is basically impossible to defend. Is the hardness of the stop sign I am imagining physical? Or non-physical? Or metaphysical? Methodological naturalism just blends rationalism with empiricism, and makes none of your ontological claims. | |
