    Is this accurate? Can you place yourself on it? (I can't).

    I consider myself a pragmatist and instrumentalist and consequently a direct (not “naive”) realist. This diagram has problems.

    Is this accurate?Banno

    It doesn't have any axes - so it doesn't have any scale, so it doesn't even count as a mental map. Is philosophy of science like religion or politics, a spectrum of dogmatic beliefs and positions?

    What position would be required to judge the accuracy? Would such a judgement be scientific, philosophical? It has all the validity of a facebook what kind of cooking utensil are you? post.
