I agree, at least for the hard sciences. Would you argue that, although philosophy used to concern itself with how to live a good life (for example, Stoicism)

  > Would you argue that, although philosophy used to concern itself with how to live a good life (for example, Stoicism) these questions are now better addressed through science of the type done in uni psychology departments? No. I don't think it's science's business. Science is descriptive. And psychology in particular doesn't live up to Popper's standards for science. There are psychology departments trying to change that. I wish them all luck and hope they succeed. And I do think that there are worthwhile elements in the writings of Stoics and Epicureans (I favour the latter), once you subtract from them the parts that are in the domain of science.
