I assume it might sound quite weird to your ears, but personally I believe thatr not all "questions" should be "answered".
why should it sounds "quite weird" to me when in a way and with a different view from the poet's one i was not saying otherwise? except i wouldn't say should but could...
By the way, I shudder by your use of philosophers names
i apologize for that. but i think there is at least one person and probably/maybe more which can understand what i've written there. Anyway it was off-topic <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />... hmm just the answer to something previously said.
As for your remark about scientists which are not philosophers, i still think that some of the greatest XX th century philosophers were scientists (and not only "philosophers of science"), and are one of the best antidot to excessive materialist view <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. And that's probably not an hazard. I don't mean that the reciprocal would be true, or that it should be overgeneralized.
