 Forum: Art of Prediction Posted: Mon Dec 13, 2010 7:16 pm Subject: Francis Fukuyama |
| What struck me was how outdated this philosophy sounded in 2010. Twenty years ago, it may well have seemed that we were approaching "the end of history", if there is such a thing. However, I ... | |

| Jenny's post made me think about how Einstein is a macrohistorian in the sense that he plays with the huge ideas of motion, time, space, the universe, and whittles them down to whether light is a part ... | |

| Ziz...what you said about the dialectic was funny. Also, I wanted to respond to your quote about science by asking: Can science be defined as an empirical philosophy of natural reality? Since Newton's ... | |

| To follow up on Keaton's mention of Aristotle, I wanted to say that, although Aristotle did not believe in experimentation, his ideas about the properties of matter were fundamental to Newton's explan ... | |

| One more question: Because art and history both interpret things (the past, the present, the personal, the inner/external) is history an art? As we've discussed, historians are using their thinking an ... | |

| I wanted to agree with Rachel that anything can be analyzed in an historical context, but that doesn't make everything history. However, I think you definitely don't have to study history in order to ... | |

| Perhaps the best way to summarize the above rant is that history must be what Kant called a "thing-in-itself", otherwise we can't call it history. History needs to clearly analyze the events ... | |

| I'm inclined to agree with Keaton. Although Contat's story can be interpreted in a historical context, the piece itself is not history in itself. I would call it historical fiction, because there is n ... | |

Forum: Art of Prediction Posted: Thu Dec 02, 2010 11:00 pm Subject: 12/2 History and Science |
| One more thought...History and Science can almost be thought of as differing ways of explaining human consciousness. This connects back to defining reality, and thus understanding ourselves through th ... | |

Forum: Art of Prediction Posted: Thu Dec 02, 2010 10:52 pm Subject: 12/2 History and Science |
| Also, I am inclined to see science and history as something of a continuum. There's definitely a gray area that blurs the end of history and the beginning of science, and I think that the most importa ... | |

| I absolutely think that Science and History are changing in ways that are compatible. Science and history both study change over time, specific interactions between people and nature, and both attempt ... | |

| I don't know if I can answer Fred's question, but I found some really good quotes linking Hegel to Aristotle, who is (obviously) widely considered a scientist. These were:
