I concur with you --insofar as some Marxist advocates would raise their political philosophy to a scientific status, which is ludicrous to say the least.... Social sciences (such as sociology, psychology, and economy, e.g.) should not challenge hard/pure sciences (in French: les sciences dures or les sciences exactes) such as mathematics, physics, or biology. There is no deterministic process that can be experimentally repeated in any human science anyway, only loose patterns whose alleged recurrence provide our would-be hard scientists a veneer of rationality. Surely, economists and financial gurus are among the most conceited "bogus doctors" on the loose in social sciences.... Behind their matter-of-fact analysis of so-called "rational expectations", there's nothing more than a trite behaviorism. Indeed, if you're looking for a prize bogus science, then go for economic "science"! |
