I agree in part with Colin McGinn, that many people may have bad conceptions about philosophy. But, his idea of renaming the discipline
will have little effect. As for the science-philosophy gap, that comes
im large part, in many areas, from scientists believing they're too good
to need the insight of philosophers, especially those pesky critters
called philosophers of science.
Well, as something like Pop Ev Psych shows, noooooo, scientists often need a lot of philosophical help, even straightening out.
This is a slice of my philosophical, lay scientific, musical, religious skepticism, and poetic musings. (All poems are my own.) The science and philosophy side meet in my study of cognitive philosophy; Dan Dennett was the first serious influence on me, but I've moved beyond him. The poems are somewhat related, as many are on philosophical or psychological themes. That includes existentialism and questions of selfhood, death, and more. Nature and other poems will also show up here on occasion.
