Radick, GM (2017) The Argument from Science. In: Almqvist, K and Thomas, I, (eds.) Sapere Aude: The Future of the Humanities in British Universities. Axel and Margaret Ax:son Johnson Foundation , Stockholm, Sweden ISBN 9789189672871
Abstract
In answer to the question "What is the point of philosophy?," this chapter mounts an inductive argument: three of the most consequential scientists who ever lived -- Darwin, Einstein and Chomsky -- are also among the most philosophically literature scientists who ever lived. The chapter also suggests that, for the good of philosophy as well as science, the intellectual traffic ought to flow in both directions.
