Modulous on Philosophy and Science
I nominate Modulous for an entire series of posts in the Philosophy of Philosophy thread. A good place to start might be with this one:
Modulous
'The Philosopy of, well, Philosophy'
Message 136 - 2007.11.01
http://EvC Forum: On The Philosophy of, well, Philosophy -->EvC Forum: On The Philosophy of, well, Philosophy
This thread has brought out some fine writing from anglagard and subbie, too, but Modulous has done some truly heavy lifting here. His discussion is always cogent, well supported, precise in terminology and consistent in presence. This is the sort of introduction to the subject that people pay tuition, if need be, to benefit from. It deserves wide attention.
It's especially fortunate for us to have a science specialist treating this subject. That perspective is needed in this forum and he is eminently qualified to supply it. Mod: many thanks.

Re: weaving the fabric
Thanks to Phat, Percy and Jon--and my apologies for being tardy in saying so.
A kinship exists among all people who seek to know. We choose our specialties as our gifts and temperaments dictate, but the discoveries we make are for the benefit of all. I treasure that kinship.
