Philosophical Shortcomings of Methodological Naturalism and the Path Forward

• Languages of publication: PL EN

Abstracts

PL

Podstawą naturalizmu metodologicznego, służącego wzmocnieniu ekskluzjonistycznego poglądu na badania naukowe, są trzy problematyczne nurty filozofii: filozofia mechanistyczna, pozytywistyczna epistemologia i doktryna niepojmowalności Boga. Każda z tych filozofii posiada wewnętrzne wady, przez które stanowiska te nie są w stanie objąć pełnego zakresu związków przyczynowych, jakie usiłuje badać nauka. Jednak pomimo tych problemów, omawiany tu rodzaj naturalizmu wykazuje, jako metodologia, pewne pozytywne cechy, które należałoby zachować, nawet jeżeli sam naturalizm metodologiczny jest nie do utrzymania.

Methodological naturalism, when used to enforce an exclusive view of scientific investigation, is based on three problematic streams of philosophy: mechanical philosophy, positivistic epistemology, and divine incomprehensibility. Each of these philosophies has inherent flaws that prevent them from being usable across the entirety of causal relationships that science attempts to investigate. However, even in the face of such criticisms, methodological naturalism as a methodology does have some positive features that should be retained even if methodological naturalism itself is not.
