Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The scientists often have more unfettered imaginations than current philosophers do. Relativity theory came as a complete surprise to philosophers, and so did quantum mechanics, and so did other things.
Science has not solved problems, only shifted the points of problems.
Science is not addressed to poets.
It should now be clear why the method of Philosophy is so different from that of the natural sciences. Experiments are not made, because they would be utterly useless.
Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.
The man of science is a poor philosopher.
Philosophy was once considered science.
Physics is becoming too difficult for the physicists.
And the continuity of our science has not been affected by all these turbulent happenings, as the older theories have always been included as limiting cases in the new ones.
Physics does not change the nature of the world it studies, and no science of behavior can change the essential nature of man, even though both sciences yield technologies with a vast power to manipulate the subject matters.
