Knowledge Beyond Science: Interpreting the Facts
from Free Association Podcast Radio Show And Roundtable · host radioprojects Dennis Barker
This episode explores how knowledge goes beyond scientific facts, arguing that scientific knowledge is only part of a larger interpretive whole. It shows that uncertainty about science often stems from doubts about interpretation rather than a lack of understanding. It examines metaphysics as a philosophical grounding that includes physics, and presents psychology as the ongoing interaction between mind and world. The episode challenges the view of philosophy as merely deconstructive. Ultimately it presents philosophy as a constructive effort to conceptualize knowledge so people can feel more secure in what they know.
