I’m not sure whether to post this topic in the philosophy or the science, as I think it’s both actually. So I’m going to copy it and repost it in philosophy as well, and the admins can place it where they place it.
Apparently, before science and philosophy became two distinct things, each with all its compartmentalizations, there was natural philosophy.
Terence McKenna and Nassim Nicholas Taleb, though speaking about different domains, sort of drew me to discovering natural philosophy. I also found a book by Lee Smolin and Roberto Mangabiera, called “the singular universe and the reality of time,” which seems to be a punch in the gut of the standard model of cosmology. The book expressly intends to revitalize natural philosophy.
A google search with pdf after the title should find the entire book. Some of the book reminds me of at some of Rupert Sheldrake’s ideas.
So I basically created this post to begin a discussion here on the nexus about natural philosophy.
