Quote:I think the sciences have taught us, correctly, to mistrust philosophy so far as it intends to either obscure rather than enlighten, and cannot be shown in any way to correspond with actual experience in/of nature.
Well first of all and before anyone tries to say it, philosophy is not a science, it has never been and it will never be, the first thing I learned about philosophy is that you can't define it, at most you could say it is one type of 'knowledge (sophia - Greek - Knowledge)'...
I beg to differ that philosophy should be mistrusted, philosophy shouldn't intend to give us scientific conclusions to explain the naturalistic world as we see it, but it should help us think about ourselves, our actions, our morals/ethics, our future, our ideologies, philosophy should try to answer questions that science doesn't worry much about answering, IE 'What is the meaning of life?'
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
