This is just a dumb, specious statement. Would expect better from a philosopher ;)
Also, would be interested why you think:
> Philosophy of Science, I think, is almost a completely bogus field.
What makes it bogus?
- beevai142 9y agoI hear (but is it true?) that for a philosopher to build a career, it is important to be thought as very smart by other philosophers --- and that this is much more so than in other fields, such as the sciences. If it's true, it would explain why appearing smart is stressed.
