#26 - CR, Except, Purpose/Function, Must Be True

[miriamson07]

I am not sure how we know that answer choice B is true. The passage says “ But philosophers loyal to subjectivity are not persuaded by appeals to science when such appeals conflict with the data gathered by introspection.” But I don’t think that necessarily means subjective evidence is FAVORED. I do think it means philosophers who believe in subjectivity think science isn’t always correct when science and philosophy conflict. But to say those philosophers favor subjective evidence in those cases goes a step further. Perhaps we can say B is true because the passage says these philosophers are “loyal” to subjectivity, allowing us to reasonably infer that they would prefer a philosophical approach when philosophy and science conflict?
