of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.”

I am not so much in favor of "professional philosophers", which does
not mean that some of them do good ... science (like Maudlin, Slezak,
even McGuin: it is real reasoning).
I find philosophy useful as a database of different way of thinking. It
helps not to invent a bicycle again.
