There is nothing philosophy-free about your formulation. You are just arguing a certain philosophy of science.

- whatshisface 8y agoIt is philosophy-free for the scientists that practice it. I'm arguing that physicists don't need to think about philosophy in order to do physics. I'm not arguing that philosophy is unnecessary for civilization - just the practical fact that physicist do not need to take philosophy classes and would be unlikely to benefit from doing so. The philosophy of science I am arguing for is empirically testable: so, as far as I can see that makes it science as opposed to philosophy.
