W's philosophy actually calls out for following up
with such investigation. If you want to go beyond
philosophy, you have to go _somewhere_ -- maybe to
political economy and political sociology, like Marx,
maybe to Ideologiekritik like Adorno and the early
Frankfurters (Adorno also did flat out scientific
sociology or social psychology, see The Authoritarian
Personality), maybe to genealogical critic and
psychology like Nietzsche, maybe to mystical
pragmatism like Heidegger or scientific-sociological
pragmatism like Dewey -- there are a lot of
possibilities. But some people, and W was one of
them, are like Moses at the Jordan, they point the way
to the land of Canaan but cannot cross the river.
Quine was another: he wanted to "naturalize
epistemology, but that meant actually doing cognitive
psychology, and he wasn't suited for or able to do
that.

CB: If we are to get some rational kernels out of these philosophers,
andie's discussion here seems worth going into further.
