[quote=Anonymous]Another angle on this debate is whether new information supersedes previous information or if it us just an alternative. With physical sciences, once you find out a previous belief is wrong, there isn’t much reason to study it; you would study the new, correct info. In the humanities, older isn’t necessarily useless and “wrong.” Older novels & poetry can be better than newer stuff. Older philosophy can be as useful as newer philosophy. The social sciences seem to have a foot on both sides of this issue. [/quote]
