"Epistemology" - Learned two things, lol

Just curious so I can understand your position a bit better. Leaving religion out, do you think Spirituality has a place in epistemology?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Given the lack of empirical evidence for spiritual claims, it's tough to judge or verify them using the standard tools of knowledge, if at all. Spirituality, whatever it may be, is inherently personal and subjective, and this subjectivity makes it impossible to set up a consistent and objective framework in epistemology. Also, I'd worry that spirituality mingled with epistemology could undermine the strict scientific rigour that's so critical to knowledge gathering.

Gotcha. Thanks for the perspective =)
