Dey thinks like, after darwin imlike all this should just be, we need to get over it. It's pushing on the edges that sort of rattles me. But there is this section that i found really helpful. The pragmatist does not have a teory of truth, much less a relativistic one, yes. And and im i'm not not sympathetic. Honestly, my feelings about this are mixed, genuinely mixed. Because i think there's a lot here that that makes sense.
David and Tamler take their first real look at pragmatism via Richard Rorty’s “Solidarity or Objectivity.” Can we discover facts about the world as it “really is,” independent of our own culturally influenced methods of inquiry? If not, does that make us relativists? Is David right about pragamatism being an ass-backward approach to scientific truth, or is he just a pragmatist who’s not ready to admit that to himself? Plus, does "The Little Mermaid" have to be white? What about Clark Kent? And we select the topic finalists for our Patreon listener selected episode.
