How much do you like philosophy?

[Psykhronic]

I think philosophy is valuable. As others have said, it brought us science. Preceding experimentation, or if no experimentation is possible, philosophical thinking helps organize ideas and weed out piss poor possible answers among other things. Of course, as with people any other fields, philosophers can be idiots. But I have to respect the field for bringing science to the world. The problem arises, I think, when people put a lot of weight on a particular philosophy that is not shown to be factual, yet people believe it is for fallacious reasons, then wish to place it upon society - an example being social darwinism.
