| Ken Wilber would argue against Wilson's intertheoretic reductionism by pointing out that it dismisses personal experience prematurely. Just because you cannot prove a person's experiences are genuine, that does not cancel their validity. Scientific investigation is not comprised solely of deductive measures. There must be elements of inductive observation and reasoning. The reductionist argument tends to explain most things away leaving you with the problem of "cheap reductionism". Wilber would rather attempt to move things up in scale, using a larger context or systems approach. Wilbur's tendency is to make the case for a biological imperative to be religious. | ||
