[Platt] "No possibility" if you subscribe to the ideology of scientific rationalism. But many of us believe there is rationality beyond the scientific method, a rationality that, for example, takes into account values. [Krimel] I should have said "no possibility of resolving them through experience or reason." Excuse me, I thought it was implied. As I have tried to make clear to Ham, questions and doubts may be resolved in any number of ways from warm fuzzy feelings to flipping coins. I am simply saying that it is disingenuous to throw out fallacy and hot air and pretend they are reasonable. Logic and mathematics are beyond the scientific method so I suppose I agree that there is much outside of the scientific method. Still the question is not so much what convinces one person to believe something but why should others believe it as well. That is the question Russell was addressing.
