Evidence-based practice in psychology (EBPP) purports to be a neutral or pan-theoretic approach. The core of EBPP is randomized clinical trials (RCT). This paper traces the origins of RCT from the ideal of physics and shows how this ideal was exported to the social sciences and…
Teaching Philosophy of Science to Science Students
Although most scientists and their students probably are skeptical towards philosophy, there has been an increasing demand for philosophy, among others philosophy of science, in science education programs. However, for this endeavour to be successful, some obstacles must be overcome. One obstacle is scientists' skepticism towards philosophy. Another obstacle is that the traditional philosophy of science curriculum is not relevant. It was not rele…
Why general artificial intelligence will not be realized
The modern project of creating human-like artificial intelligence (AI) started after World War II, when it was discovered that electronic computers are not just number-crunching machines, but can also manipulate symbols. It is possible to pursue this goal without assuming that machine intelligence is identical to human intelligence. This is known as weak AI. However, many AI researcher have pursued the aim of developing artificial intelligence th…
