Has Philosophy over stepped it's boundaries?

[bennyboy]

For some reason(I am only asserting a rough opinion) I find that philosophy must be cut down and stay within areas that are only relevant to it.

What are your opinions on philosophy and it's usage?

In my view, you have it almost exactly wrong. Philosophy is a huge field, and scientific thinking is a subset based on certain core assumptions as well as goals.

I think what you really mean to say is, "Bullshit half-baked woo shouldn't be injected into the more rigorous field of science." With this, most would agree.

I find it telling that in 5000+ years of trying, philosophy has not solved one problem of human existence.

lolwut?

I'd ask you to show even a single problem that has been solved without philosophy (except maybe those solved by pure chance).
