I don't know, I'm not much of a philosopher but I would have to go with not really. From what I do know (mostly from my younger brother, who writes a very popular philosophy based webcomic http://existentialcomics.com/ and is well versed in it) philosophical branches that come into conflict with science are normally abandoned or not taken seriously. Also Science itself was originally a branch of philosophy in ancient Greece and things such as Atoms were originally philosophized before they were proven by science.
