1. Philosophy / G. Scientific Philosophy / 3. Scientism

8378	Philosophers usually learn science from each other, not from science [Russell]
	Full Idea: Philosophers are too apt to take their views on science from each other, not from science.
	From: Bertrand Russell (On the Notion of Cause [1912], p.178)
	A reaction: This wasn't true of Russell, but it is certainly true of me. I rely on philosophical researchers to find the interesting bits of science for me (like blindsight). Memo to myself: read more science.
