FSK is More Advanced than the P. Realism Approach

Post by Veritas Aequitas »

The Framework and System of Knowledge [FSK] approach is more nuanced and advanced than the Philosophical Realists' approach which based an absolutely mind-independent reality.

Here is where FDP condemned the FSK approach based on his ignorance and primitive philosophy grounded on philosophical realism's mind-independence of either true or false proposition.

With common facts it is undeniable that in the case that two mutually contradictory fact claims are made, either one or both fact claims is untrue.
Your FSK theory has denied that for a decade now, so your option to claim that the FSK thing is neither extraordinary nor a deviation from the common view of facts is denied as obviously absurd.
Here's ChatGpt's point re supporting my claim the FSK approach is more nuanced and advanced than FDP primitive philosophy:
ChatGpt to VA
To argue that the Framework-System of Knowledge (FSK) approach is more nuanced and advanced than the philosophical realists' commitment to absolute mind-independent facts, you can adopt the following structured approach. It builds on critiques of Philosophical Realism while highlighting the strengths of the FSK model:

1. Expose the Illusory Basis of Philosophical Realism
Start by addressing the noumenon: Philosophical realism assumes an absolute mind-independent reality (noumenon) that exists independent of cognition. However, Kant demonstrated that this concept is illusory because human cognition can never access such an unconditioned reality.
Emphasize how philosophical realism conflates regulative ideals with constitutive claims: While the idea of absolute truth might be a useful regulative ideal for guiding inquiry, it is not a constitutive element of reality as we experience it.

"Philosophical realism depends on the notion of the noumenon—an absolute reality beyond human cognition—to ground its concept of facts and truths. However, as Kant argued, this is an illusion. We can only deal with phenomena as structured by our cognitive faculties and frameworks, meaning that philosophical realism's foundation is inherently flawed."

2. Critique the Limitations of the Law of Excluded Middle in Realism
Acknowledge that the Law of Excluded Middle (LEM)—that every proposition is either true or false—is a valuable tool in formal logic. However, point out that its application to reality is limited:
The LEM assumes clear, binary distinctions between true and false, which may not hold in complex or ambiguous contexts (e.g., quantum physics, ethical dilemmas, or linguistic paradoxes).
Real-world phenomena often involve gradations and uncertainties, which cannot be neatly categorized into true or false.
  • "While the Law of Excluded Middle is useful in formal logic and mathematics, its application to complex, empirical realities is limited. It fails to account for situations where truth exists on a continuum, such as probabilistic truths in quantum physics or the evolving nature of scientific theories."
Example: The statement "Light is a wave or a particle" appears to violate the LEM in quantum mechanics, as light exhibits properties of both, depending on the experimental framework.

3. Highlight the Strengths of the FSK Approach
Flexibility: The FSK approach acknowledges that truth can vary depending on the criteria and context of a specific framework. It avoids the rigidity of absolutism.
Continuum of Truths: Instead of forcing binary true/false judgments, the FSK model allows for degrees of truth, enabling more nuanced assessments.
Practical Utility: The FSK model reflects how humans engage with reality in various domains—science, ethics, law, etc.—where truths are evaluated within specific systems and evolve over time.

  • "The FSK approach provides a more realistic and pragmatic method for assessing truth. By situating truth claims within frameworks that define their criteria and scope, the FSK model accommodates complexity, uncertainty, and evolution in knowledge—unlike the absolutist rigidity of philosophical realism."


4. Frame the FSK Model as a Continuum of Progress
Argue that the FSK model represents a more advanced epistemological approach because it builds on the strengths of earlier paradigms while addressing their limitations.
Position realism’s absolute notion of facts as an early stage of epistemological development, which was useful for simplifying knowledge but is now inadequate for addressing the complexities of modern science, philosophy, and reality.
  • "Philosophical realism, grounded in absolute, mind-independent facts, was an early epistemological strategy for making sense of the world. However, it is limited by its rigid binary logic and reliance on the illusory noumenon. The FSK model transcends these limitations by offering a flexible, context-sensitive, and progressive approach to truth, making it more suitable for the complexities of modern inquiry."
5. Support with Examples of Framework-Dependent Truths
Use real-world examples to illustrate the advantages of the FSK approach:

Science: Truths in science (e.g., Newtonian mechanics vs. relativity) are not absolute but evolve within frameworks that provide different levels of explanatory power and scope.
Ethics: Ethical truths depend on cultural, historical, and situational contexts, demonstrating the need for framework-specific criteria for evaluating moral claims.
Quantum Physics: Frameworks like the Copenhagen interpretation or Many-Worlds interpretation demonstrate that even fundamental truths about reality are framework-dependent.

6. Preempt Realist Objections
Realists may argue that FSK relativizes truth or leads to skepticism. Counter this by emphasizing that FSKs can still provide objective standards within a framework (e.g., empirical evidence and repeatability in the scientific FSK).
Clarify that FSK objectivity is context-sensitive, not absolute, but this does not undermine its credibility.

  • "FSK objectivity is not arbitrary or relative; it is grounded in rigorous criteria specific to each framework. For instance, the scientific FSK is the gold standard because it prioritizes empirical evidence, testability, and repeatability—criteria that ensure robust and reliable truths within its scope."


7. End with a Pragmatic Appeal
Argue that the FSK approach is not only more philosophically advanced but also more practically effective in dealing with real-world complexities.
  • "The FSK approach moves beyond the outdated absolutism of philosophical realism to provide a more nuanced, flexible, and practical method for engaging with reality. It reflects how we actually construct and evaluate knowledge in science, ethics, and other domains, making it a more effective tool for understanding and navigating the world."
Summary Argument:
  • "Philosophical realism’s reliance on absolute, mind-independent facts and binary logic (e.g., the Law of Excluded Middle) is limited by its illusory foundation in the noumenon and its inability to accommodate complex, evolving truths.

    The FSK approach, by contrast, is more nuanced and advanced because it situates truths within frameworks that define their criteria, allowing for a continuum of truth and greater flexibility.
    This approach not only aligns better with how knowledge is constructed in science and other domains but also offers a more effective way to engage with the complexities of reality.
    As a progressive epistemological model, the FSK approach represents a significant step forward in understanding and assessing truth."

And here we have a whopping category error.

Philosophical realism and FSKs are not in the same category and one cannot be said to be better than the other:

OK, we got two ideas: philosophical realism and frameworks and systems of knowledge (FSKs). Philosophical realism is the idea that there’s an objective reality out there, existing independently of our minds, beliefs, or frameworks. FSKs, on the other hand, are about how different disciplines—like physics or sociology—organize and validate knowledge. They describe the “rules of the game” for how each field decides what counts as true or false.

Now, someone might claim that the FSK approach is “better” than realism, and no surprise this comes from VA. At first glance, this sounds like a reasonable comparison—after all, both deal with knowledge and truth, right? But if we dig a little deeper, this comparison starts to fall apart because it confuses two very different kinds of 'things'. Which is really ironic that a person who has used FSK a million times and philosophical realism 10,000 times, doesn't really grasp what categories these terms fall into!!!!?????

Philosophical realism is a metaphysical position. It’s about reality itself—what exists, whether or not we’re there to observe it. Are electrons real? Does the external world exist independently of human perception? Realism says, “Yes, there’s a world out there, and it doesn’t depend on what we think about it.”

In contrast, FSKs operate on a different level. They’re epistemological tools. Instead of asking what’s real, they ask how different fields of knowledge work. For example, in physics, knowledge might be built through experimentation, mathematical modeling, and peer review. In literature, knowledge might involve interpreting texts and examining cultural contexts. FSKs are great for analyzing the methods and structures different disciplines use to decide what counts as knowledge.

Here’s where the problem arises: comparing FSKs to realism is like comparing apples to blueprints. Realism is a claim about the nature of reality itself. FSKs, on the other hand, are about the frameworks we use to organize and validate knowledge. To say one is “better” than the other is to misunderstand their purposes entirely.

This kind of confusion is a category error. A category error happens when you treat something as if it belongs to a category it doesn’t. For example, asking, “What color is the number three?” is a category error because numbers don’t have colors. In the same way, saying that the FSK approach is better than realism mistakes an epistemological tool for a metaphysical claim. FSKs describe how disciplines think about reality, but realism is about what reality is.

A more meaningful question would be: “Can the FSK approach help us understand how realism operates within different fields?” This question acknowledges that FSKs are tools for analyzing systems of thought, not substitutes for metaphysical claims about reality itself.

By keeping these distinctions clear, VA could avoid muddling two different conversations: one about how we know things (epistemology) and the other about what’s real (metaphysics). This isn't pedantry, it's pointing out a fundamental misunderstanding of terms VA uses over and over.

The silliness gets obvious in another way: are FSKs better than antirealism or empirical realism?

Were they better in the past than those metaphysical positions?

IN another thread you toss out a list of acronyms other people should know about, not necessarily agree with, but you actually, yourself, don't really know what these things are.

OK, I praise your attempt to think deeper and wider; unfortunately it is off target.

Between Metaphysics and Epistemology, it is implied from Kant's view, 'Fuck Metaphysics - it is illusory' although he conceded metaphysics can be a useful illusion.

According to Kant, the FSK way [his Copernican Revolution is similar] is the most effective representation of reality.

In a way, metaphysics is also a FSK by definition, but based on the ranking to credibility, reality and objectivity, it is rated lowly [<5/100] relative to the scientific FSK as the gold standard [100/100].
So philosophical realism can also fit in as a FSK but its credibility, reality and objectivity is rated lowly [<5/100] relative to the scientific FSK as the gold standard [100/100].

There is still room to consider the FSK within deeper nuances, i.e. bringing in the FSER, i.e. the emergence and realization of the thing before it is perceived, cognized and described.

You [Alta, FDP, PH] are like a water-strider which can merely scratch the surface of reality and unable to go deeper into the depths of knowledge of reality.

Well, as usual, you managed to NOT engage with the arguments AT ALL in my post. No point made by me leading to specific response. You repeated your position, did not engage with my post, and spent time to find an image of a water strider as part of an insult in response to a post that did not contain an insult. More time and space spent on an insect than the topic. No time spend on responding to my post. Some time spent on merely reasserting yourself.

For example, there is nothing in your post to indicate you even understand the point I was making. Nothing.

If you simply want to reassert your assertions and not respond to points made, it would show more integrity if you didn't quote what you have no intention of interacting with. That way I don't get a notification that someone has responded to what I wrote, which is good, since in cases like this, no one did.

Thank you, in advance, for your consideration in this matter.
