so "no philosophy" here?

really??

Re: this thread closed by Evo. i think it's as legit a question as one about Multiverses or String Theory, both being quite speculative.

no philosophy of physics nor philosophy of science? no philosophy floating around in the Cosmology forum? nor the Beyond the Standard Model forum?

why do they call those credentials a "PhD"?

i think there is even a philosophy of engineering.

just curious.

Physics news on Phys.org
With the "demise" of MIH, there is nobody here to moderate a philosophy sub-forum. Some mentors seem quite disinclined to tolerate a trend back there, sticking to hard sciences instead. When I studied philosophy 40+ years ago, the course structure was almost completely "comparative religion", so the speculative edges of that field were replaced by religious history. I really enjoyed that area of study.
