Lawrence Krauss apologises to philosophers Apr 28th 2012, 08:38 Well, some of them He has clarified remarks he made in an of the cuff interview here The tl:dr version is that he is sorry that he lumped in philosophers who take empiricism on board with those who haven't, and the latter can go and play with themselves and each other. http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...tion-of-philos Quote: ....So, to those philosophers I may have unjustly offended by seemingly blanket statements about the field, I apologize. I value your intelligent conversation and the insights of anyone who thinks carefully about our universe and who is willing to guide their thinking based on the evidence of reality. To those who wish to impose their definition of reality abstractly, independent of emerging empirical knowledge and the changing questions that go with it, and call that either philosophy or theology, I would say this: Please go on talking to each other, and let the rest of us get on with the goal of learning more about nature. Well, quite:) David
