[587] Steph: One should start science without facts due to societies and previous
experiences that others have gone through. For example: Marx's
philosophy hinged on his view of human nature. (Wiki) Along with the
Hegelian dialectic, Marx inherited a disdain for the notion of an
underlying invariant human nature. Sometimes Marxists express their
views by contrasting “nature” with “history” which could be compared to
us as a science. The point, in either case, is that who a person is is
determined by where and when he is, thus creating a science with no
facts. Social context takes precedence over innate behavior; or, in
other words, one of the main features of human nature is adaptability
For Marx, this is a natural capacity for a physical activity, but it is
intimately tied to the active role of human consciousness and therefore
he came to his findings and created a science. He was well traveled and
would often make comparisons and come to conclusions based upon what he
had seen or been a part of. He could prove his science through that
which had already happened. Through life experience Marx was able to
develop a science and become a brilliant man. |
