Yes, I do realize that philosophy claims dominion of all human thought, but that is fantasy. For thousands of years, humans armed with philosophy made a snail's progress in the natural understanding of our world. Then science came about and it was like a mini-singularity. It was not philosophy that created science, it was the utter failure of philosophy to describe the natural world around us that created the right conditions for the scientific method to be developed, and it so happens the scientific method is wholly incompatible with philosophy. Philosophy's one chance to be relevant to the understanding of the natural world ended with the death of logical positivism, aka that branch of philosophy that thought it ought to try to actually verifiably prove it's claims. Philosophers threw logical positivism away when they realized that philosophy of any kind couldn't actually prove anything about the world around us and instead of realizing that the entire field of formal philosophy is about as useful as screen door on a submarine, they sweeped logical positivism under the rug and agreed it was all a very bad idea(TM).
