Scientist, Philosopher or Theologian?

[Salty Booger]

I consider myself a bit of all three. Do you feel the same the same or do you lean in any one direction?

 

[icehorse]

I try to learn from scientists and philosophers. I find theology to be a topic without much merit. No doubt that popular scripture has had an amazing (and bad), influence on the world, but it seems to me that most theologians are dedicated to propping up fiction.

I don't know that I'm any of those.

Don't ask me what I am, 'cause I don't know that, either.

Really you have published in all three of those domains or at the very least achieved a decent academic level of knowlede in all three spheres? That's impressive. Very few people have this level of training and expertise in such complex and different domain.

 

[Quintessence]

It's not an atypical fare in Druidry; I suppose that's part of why I gravitated towards this particular flavor of contemporary Paganism. In many respects, I find it odd to study any one of these without also studying the other two as in my view, it isn't really possible to compartmentalize these anyway.

Scientist brothers began as an Greed a greed term. Group agreement. The brotherhood. Then he learnt as a Self in sacrifice.

Science said no man being self was God for since when are you the energy mass history sitting in space. Self as a man body lived inside the heavens sacrificed by fission on the ground.

Water the ground seal removed and put above his head when the flame attacked him. To Phi lo Sophia. False mother of science

Water he says is his life spirit. Why God the stone existed present also.

Which is a scientist thinking.

Water. The state he cannot control.

Today are you a scientist. Or do you only think you are a scientist is the modern males reflection.

I would like to think I’m a bit of all three. Alas I’m too stupid to amount to anything in any field.
I like philosophy because in a sense it’s like something from my roots, my heritage. Whether that’s exploring the various philosophies found in Hinduism, into which I was born. Or the western equivalents, just because I’m a book nerd.
I try to use science based understandings to inform my views on matters relating to health. Theology I suppose interlocks with my philosophical wanderings, insofar as that was the impetus for my curiosity to begin with.
Incidentally I just ordered some books by Simone De Bouvier. Yay!

I expect many of us are a bit of all three.

For me, science is my background and informs my view of the physical world.

But science leads to philosophy. You can't do science without making some philosophical assumptions, whether tacitly or explicitly - though sadly some scientists and popularisers of science appear not to recognise this. And you need some philosophy to understand where the boundaries of science lie, i.e where science stops and other ideas take over, including religious ones.

As for theology, I know very little but enough to be able to dispel some myths about religious belief, here and there.

Science educates
Philosophy thinks
Theology stagnates
Imo

I am none of those but do lean toward education and thought.

Full Philosopher here.

Interested in science does not mean that I am a scientist. But any person can philosophize or talk about religion.

I'm not of the three, but I think I'm a judge of what is good Science, what is good Religion, what is good Philosophy. No matter which of the three, it is good when you are working with others on a shared goal believing only in and through your efforts. This is good Science, good Religion, good Philosophy to me. Good politics, too. Simply believing in the words of others is a trap to turn you into a tool. I think that deep down we all want to own other people. What is more valuable? What is more profitable? What is more pleasurable than to direct the actions and thoughts of other people? What is more destructive? Good Science, good Religion, good Philosophy and good Politics avoids this.

I'm interested in science though I don't do active research. So, no scientist in the traditional meaning.
(I am a philosophical scientist as I think the postulates of science are right and the scientific method the best we currently have to gain knowledge about reality.)
I consider myself an armchair philosopher. I do like clear and rational thinking and can even crank out an original thought once in while.
No theologian what-so-ever.

That is good, and should not be a problem. I think all philosophical researches were done while sitting or reclining.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. Reading and writing was done at a high desk up into the 19th century. (Which doesn't prove that the thinking was also done standing, but it's a hint towards it.)

But then again, you can also be an "armchair philosopher" while standing.

That may have been the European tradition. Indians sat cross-legged with a low table.
