A Simple Path for Science

Filippo Dal Fiore critiques reductionist tendencies in social science that create ideologies, abstractions, and disconnection from lived reality. He calls for a return to simplicity through analogies, subjective experience, and universal common sense. Science, he argues, must serve life by rediscovering its foundations in clarity, purpose, and human wisdom.
