The system for generating new fields of research? After all, if it generates other areas that are no longer philosophy reasonably regularly, then that actually creates value.
Does it (still) do so, though? I'm aware that most of what is now science used to be called "natural philosophy", but nowadays it doesn't really seem like there's anything left.
Is it a system for generating new fields of research, or is it just a catch-all bin where all the nebulous, hazy, and vague things are kept until they firm up enough to become fields of research?
