> Science does have its answers about, say, what it means to know something about the world. Those answers are probably different for every scientist you talk to. Or at least there are several major camps, which is where philosophy would be useful. Often their ideas are close enough it can be glossed over, but when they aren't it results in endless arguing because they aren't willing to admit they subscribe to different philosophies. I do agree, however, that we should avoid philosophy as much as possible. But that means at least stating what you take for granted and what you think science is.
