Analitik Felsefe Neden Natüralizme Karşıdır?

Öz

Analitik felsefe (AF) kendisini Kıta felsefesi olarak adlandırılan rakibinden bir dizi çok önemli özelliğiyle ayırt etmiştir. Bunlardan bir tanesi kendisinin bilim ile olan ilişkisidir. AF geleneği son 120 yılda çokça genişleyip değiştiği için ortada bilime karşı sabit bir tutumun olması zaten beklenmese de yakından bir bakış aslında AF’nin bilim ile felsefe arasına katı sınırlar çekme çabasının onun doğum lekesi olduğunu gösterecektir. AF bir asırdan uzun tarihi boyunca neredeyse her zaman bu özelliğini korumuştur. Bu nedenle, AF esasen felsefi natüralizmin tezi olan bilim ve felsefe sürekliliği fikrinin tam karşısında yer almaktadır.

Why is Analytic Philosophy against Naturalism?

Öz

Analytic philosophy (AP) has proudly distinguished itself from its prominent opponent in that it is a much more science-friendly philosophy. Undoubtedly, analytic tradition has become much more widened and enriched from its inception. With nearly 100–120 years of history, this tradition has borne immense variety. Thus it is not expected that its relation to science is fixed and specific. However, a much closer look would reveal that AP bears its almost universal claim to the distinction between philosophy and science as its birthmark. This tradition has successfully preserved this feature no matter what. For these reasons, AP is categorically against naturalist philosophy, whose distinguishing mark is the continuity thesis, the thesis that philosophy and sciences are continuous.
