And how many contemporary philosophers bother to take any science?

One do wonder.

See? That’s not even the right question.

The question is, “How many contemporary philosophers take it upon themselves to promulgate scientific propositions?”

And why is the discussion limited to contemporary philosophers? There are none of note.

Even if no philosopher had ever learned even a scintilla of science, that would not fit scientists to leap into philosophy in middle age, with no study of what had gone before.
