I find most scientists I know startlingly bad at philosophy, and startlingly arrogant about how much science actually tells us. If only more people read philosophy instead of Popular Science.

The two linked articles<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/25/books/review/a-universe-from-nothing-by-lawrence-m-krauss.html?_r=3" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/25/books/review/a-universe-fr...</a> being David Alpert's review of Lawrence Kraus's book, and<p><a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/04/has-physics-made-philosophy-and-religion-obsolete/256203/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/04/has-ph...</a> being an interview in which Kraus responds to the charges,<p>are far more interesting than this piece of borderline-blogspam, which claims to settle the question merely by overstating what Kraus originally said (I don't think he ever claimed that physics subsumes <i>all</i> of philosophy, only some areas).
