street philosophy" done by Socrates and the more rigorous, mathematical Philosophy of Science.

PoSc done by analyticals is no more rigorous than other analytical philosophy, and PoSc done by continentals is no more rigorous that other continental.

Socrates and co were the analyticals of their day......let not the ungeometered enter the Academy.... with the role of the continentals being taken by the Sophists.

Well said again, and well-considered that ideas in minds can only move forwards through time (not a physical law). My initial reaction to this article was, "What about philosophy of science?" However, it seems my PoSc objections extend to other realms of philosophy as well. Thank you for leading me here.
