I am aware that afer several centures of successful science, philosophers have attemped to rationalize what it is that scientists do. They haven't been very successful. there is no philosophical definition that helps scientists create new techniques for investigation.

My friends are really going to be on the floor on this post.

He is conflating the study of how we gain knowledge with actually gaining knowledge as if the philosophy is necessary for the acquisition.

Stop feeding the Trolls.
