Problems in Philosophy: The Limits of Inquiry
Philosophical Review 105 (2):253 (1996)
Abstract
Here are some things we understand, at least pretty well: planetary orbits, cell division, rainbows, electrical conductivity. Here are some things we don’t understand at all: conscious awareness, knowledge, free will, understanding things. That is, we are, as a species, pretty good at mathematics and science and no good at all at philosophy. Why is this?My notes
