@andi It's very shallow, I'm afraid. Long ago, I was reading a pop-philosophy book that was slagging positivism. The author was mocking principles that I think are useful and well supported by experience. I decided, hmm, I must be a positivist.
I just read the Wikipedia page for anti-positivism to find out what debate you're referring to. The issues raised on that page sound more like "positivist scientists haven't finished the job" than "we need a fundamentally different philosophy". But doubtless there are other issues more subtle than those. I just do what works.
