A Journal for Western Man
Modern "science" is mired in a debilitating fallacy: empiricism-positivism, the idea that no knowledge is certain beyond refutation and that every claim is contingent on highly narrow, particular, and expensive experiments. This treatise, however, provides a thorough refutation of prevalent empiricist-positivist fallacies, both in content and in method. It shatters theories such as Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, the Big Bang/Crunch, the particle/wave view of light, and a host of others, using the proper, axiomatic-deductive methodology of identifying those theories' conceptual flaws and internal contradictions. As constructive alternatives to these fallacies, A Rational Cosmology presents objective, absolute, rationally grounded views of terms such as universe, matter, volume, space, time, motion, sound, light, forces, fields, and even the higher-order concepts of life, consciousness, and volition. The result is a system verified by ubiquitous observation and common sense, the underpinnings of objective science which demonstrate a knowable, fathomable reality and set the stage for unfettered progress, confidence in reason, and full-scale logical investigation of just about everything existence has to offer.
