1. Philosophy / E. Nature of Metaphysics / 4. Metaphysics as Science

22153	Quine rejects Carnap's view that science and philosophy are distinct [Quine, by Boulter]
	Full Idea: Quine rejects Carnap's view that the methods of science and philosophy are distinct.
	From: report of Willard Quine (On Carnap's Views on Ontology [1951]) by Stephen Boulter - Why Medieval Philosophy Matters 5
	A reaction: I can't decide this one. Leibniz agreed with Carnap, but rated philosophy more highly. I like the view of philosophy as continuous with science, but that doesn't make it a branch of science. I incline towards science being a branch of philosophy.
