Right. Anyone that doesn't subscribe to a reductionistic scientism is a mystic and a pseudophilosopher.
But Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist, is a TRUE philosopher

Yes, anyone who doesn't subscribe to a reductionistic scientism is a mystic and a pseudophilosopher. Right on.
Dawkins is, afterall, a scientist, and can tell us so much about evolutionary biology. He is a REAL philosopher!

Zizek isn't a postmodernist. You and all the rest of the vulgar materialists/petty atheists (Dawkins fan boys) are way out of your element.
Dawkins can tell us an awful lot about evolutionary biology. But he can tell us nothing of our Being.

mrfatd: Zizek is a scientist. All sciences are directly triggered by philosophy. Philosophy defines the underlying logic of science. Without philosophy we would find ourselves in a world of myths and with no chance to question them.

don't you mean "pheudopsilosophy?"

dawkins is a scientist, zizek is a postmodernist. postmodernism is just a mystic branch of pseudophilosophy

"incompleteness is a fundamental characteristic of the universe."
Actually incompleteness is a fundamental characteristic of a formal system rich enough to contain "basic arithmetics", you can't use the concept of incompleteness in such a loose way, it makes no sense.

Are you a philosophy student? You seem to have decided on an orthodox normality by which to measure what everyone else says. You need to shake your kaleidoscope methinks... |
