IMHO, trouble is than science is not able to ask properly the question of the origin of life and of the origins process of thought (works by neurologists are not explaining that but how a thought born in an individual brain which is quite different)...
I'm not sure this remark is related to your question Tsel, as i didn't understand it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />
Absolutely true. Without a good question, no answer at all. Too bad that philosophy wasn't able to help the other sciences through a permanent state of interogation. Today, it is limited to the study of speech (see Carnap, Wittgenstein and the other mediocre philosophers). Philosophy doesn't have a "realm" of its own anymore. As for great discoveries about life, I would personally trust the teachings of a Buddhist monk (one of those that can survive two months without water,etc.)more than the aberations of today's "professors" of materialization. What is the most important science in most Europe and America? Economy... that proves beyond doubt Plato's theories about the "Era of Decadence"...
