What's the point of philosophy any more?
RE: What's the point of philosophy any more?

If he hadn't done that, Mathilda wouldn't know what to prescribe for philosophy.

Interesting. Kuhn did a historical piece looking at how the Copernican revolution proceeded. He then modified a viewpoint about how scientific development occurs. He overstepped his data and didn't quite prove what he claimed. Seems to me like he was doing history more than philosophy.
