Abstract
Philosophers have always tried to explain the world, and that’s their duty. Sometimes they have also tried to direct human life, and that’s a worrisome extra task they are not paid for. But with just that in mind, they have looked at the hard sciences in order to borrow methods and models. The final result should have been a universal technein. This is a “reasoning without reason”, in the words of Jurgen Habermas, that is a reasoning producing a set of relations embodied in a model, system or better, machinery that is made up of either material or human forces. Let us think only of Marxism and laissez-faire economism as practical expressions of Determinism and Positivism.
