Science | Black | III 64 Science/Black: some: instead of truth better probability as a target. - BlackVs: it is easier to find a truth about copper than a probability. - Benjamin Franklin: young people should begin sentences with "possibly". III 66 Science/Existence/Truth/Black: Thesis: Truth assertions imply the attribution of existence to the objects of which we speak. - It is unclear what the last objects are.

Neutrality | Black Vs Neutrality | III 84 Neutrality/Science/BlackVsNeutrality/BlackVsValue freedom: if science is considered to be rational in the sense of neutral, it runs the risk of becoming inhuman. It must instead be regarded as a human action. III 84 Neutrality/Robert L. Heilbroner: (sociologist, NY Times Magazine, 19 Jan 1975 p. 14f.): Brings an example by Adam Smith: Adam Smith: E.g. why would a person with a humanistic background, when facing the choice of seinding one million Chinese to death in order to save his little finger, let the Chinese live? (BlackVsSmith: Actually, why Chinese, why not Scots?) Heilbroner/Black: remains remarkably neutral! He believes that there is "no rational answer" to that! One cannot apply a logical calculus to it. BlackVsHeilbroner: Apparently, he did not read the very differentiated magazine in which he had the opportunity to publish carefully. Could anyone be in doubt about giving a human life for the salvation of a little finger?. |
