Philosophers are just as guilty of neglecting science than the scientists they detest for neglecting philosophy. But at least philosophers ought to know better. For philosophy’s track record in contributing to science is about as clear a game of Russian roulette. Scientists are far more often led away from the truth by engaging with metaphysics than towards it, which shouldn’t be all that surprising since intuitions and ‘common sense’ are a poor guide to the fundamental nature of reality at best.
