Thank you sidelined.
It does seem awfully light weight.
It is touching on the kind of points that we need in our metaphysic which underlies the scientific process and way of thinking.
We assume a reality. That is metaphysical isn't it?
We demand a reproducible, not random behaviors.
What else is there? This has been thrased out by experts a bunch of times.

quote:
Science is natural philosophy, ergo some philosophers do experiment.
That use of the phrase natural philosphy is so out-of-date now. I don't think that your statement above is at all true.
The original line by sidelined was:
And science does one thing the philosophers never do .Experiment.
He was using science in the colletive and "philosphers" as a whole. Your comments about doing and not doing experiments don't make sense in that context. It is the same with theorists too. They are part of the collective.
