I've been thinking about philosophers I've read who don't contradict science in any way, don't encroach on scientists' territory, and don't attempt to do what science does better. Without looking over my notebooks, I'd say these criteria apply to (in no particular order):
Guy deBord, Slavoj Zizek, Pierre Bourdieu, Iris Murdoch, Alain Badiou, Richard Rorty, Robert Pippen, Andrew Bowie, Jean Baudrillard
If any of our anti-philosophy colleagues would like to take a page from any one of these writers' books and explain to me why it shouldn't be read, or why scientists are doing the same thing better, that would be very interesting to me.
