Human Knowledge: Foundations and Limits
Human Knowledge: Foundations and Limits is a
memeware reference
hypertext written from a
materialist and
futurist perspective by Brian Holtz. It claims to summarize the foundations and limits of what human
civilization has learned, identifying for each subdivision of human knowledge its fundamental concepts, principles, mysteries, and misunderstandings. It uses typographic conventions to distinguish between what it considers uncontentious facts and potentially contentious assertions sympathetic to ontological
materialism, epistemological
empiricism and
positivism, mental functionalism, theological
atheism, axiological
extropianism, political
libertarianism, economic
capitalism, constitutional
federalism, and technological optimism. The text is currently a draft, with completed sections on
philosophy,
logic,
physics,
economics, and
futurology.
