Ah you’re a philosopher. I’ve studied Hegel too, I disagree entirely about the basis of what a science is. Chemistry is based on assumptions about the material world but is much more rigorous in scientific terms than Hegels science of logic, in the view I’m speaking of. And to be clear, I am a Hegel enthusiast, I find his works admirable and with kernels of amazing conclusions growing everywhere and explicated everywhere, too. But I think it’s a doomed effort to created assumptionless science. It’s fun to think about, but I’m talking about how to change the world
Agree to disagree, I already said what I had to say on this.
