I thought the current hostility to philosophy was due to the development of instruments that provide answers to questions that were hitherto unanswerable.
ETA: Did I just unwittingly restate your point?
No. To be clear, I meant that scientists are adopting the same hostility to traditional philosophy that some popular naturalistic philosophers do. I'm not sure what instruments you mean.
Instruments like the telescope, microscope, satellite, fMRI, all render obsolete old maps, usually narrative ones.
I think I might be making a trite point, so I'll bow out now.
