1. Philosophy / E. Nature of Metaphysics / 5. Metaphysics beyond Science

22611	Metaphysics can criticise interpretations of science theories, and give good feedback [Ingthorsson]
	Full Idea: Metaphysics is capable of critical scrutiny of the way the empirical sciences make sense of their own theories, and can provide them with very useful feedback.
	From: R.D. Ingthorsson (A Powerful Particulars View of Causation [2021], 1.9)
	A reaction: I agree with this, but I don't think it is the main job of metaphysics, which has its own agenda, using science as some of its raw material.
