But I wish to note, nobody has yet to even mention:
(And how a discussion on MWM can avoid discussing Kant escapes me.)
btw, you forgot Mr. Natural and his alter ego Flakey Foont. "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin
One does not need to mention Mr. Natural. One ASSUMES deep knowledge of the works of The Master when discussing philosophy.

(It's 3:30 in the AM. I'm tired. I'm going to bed.)
Only Hume could comment (just for fun) what some centuries later will become tte great discussion of the century, are magic and scientific narratives fundamentally different? And if not, are there inherent magic foundation to science as Hume sustained?
I think the answer is defintely yes... but as with Quantum mechanics and Migeru explained..we have not udnerstood what it really means, we do not have schoalrs who could provide more Asimovs and Sagans.. and we ahve a scientific structure outside math physics and cehmistry (mainly biology and medicine) which are facing the XXI century with a mechanistic and naive approach that I find sometimes scary.
And I do not even mention the real possibility that the "why" question might be more important to good social bonding thant he "how" question.
A pleasure
A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
