| description |
Galileo and Kepler and Descartes and other seventeenth-century worthies,
that it is possible to get behind all human representations to a God’s-eye
view of ultimate reality as it is in itself. When they affirm that mathematical
objects transcending space and time and causality exist, and mathematical
truths transcending human verification obtain, they are affirming that such
objects exist and such truths obtain as part of ultimate metaphysical reality
(whatever that means). Naturalist realists, by contrast, affirm only (what
even some self-described anti-realists concede) that the existence of such
objects and obtaining of such truths is an implication or presupposition of
science and scientifically informed common sense, while denying that
philosophy has any access to exterior, ulterior, and superior sources of
knowledge from which to ‘‘correct’’ science and scientifically informed
common sense. The naturalized philosopher, in contrast to the alienated
philosopher, is one who takes a stand as a citizen of the scientific community,
and not a foreigner to it, and hence is prepared to reaffirm while
doing philosophy whatever was affirmed while doing science, and to
acknowledge its evident implications and presuppositions |
