But philosophy is the field that both Feyerabend and Popper are supposed to be experts in, which makes there philosophical brain farts about Galileo and Darwin unforgivable. Incidentally it is beyond dispute that Heisenberg ran the Nazi A-bomb program very very poorly, some say this was just because of incompetence but others say it was deliberate sabotage, if so then Heisenberg knew something about ethics after all. And I'm still waiting for somebody to tell me one thing that philosophers have discovered in the last 2 centuries that is deep clear precise unexpected and true that scientists or mathematicians had not discovered first.
