Abstract
Philosophy may not be sacrificed to the partial and superficial clamor of that which sometimes officiously and pretentiously exhibits itself as Science But there is a sense in which philosophy must go to school to the sciences must have no data save such as it receives at their hands and be hospitable to no method of inquiry or reflection not akin to those in daily use among the sciencesPhilosophers who specialize in the ways and workings of science have frequently heeded Dewey’s advice engaging in myriad ways with the natural social and historical sciences However too often the products of history and science become ‘mere data’ for philosophers producing a loveless “marriage of convenience” Kuhn 1977 Burian 1977
