"My judgement is my judgement: no one else is entitled to it." ~ Nietzsche...
This quote rather succinctly draws a distinction between 'modern' philosophers and science (as with the old Idealist philosophers as well). It is not a relativist stance. Rather, philosophy tends to aim at 'appropriation' of truth and how it serves us, and what a truth model says about us and our values...those are the more important questions that matter to philosophy while science seeks the repeatable and dependable results.
To anyone who benefits from those 'discoveries', may they aid them in their theories and inventions...but, what does it actually mean to you? Does the answer change your life in the slightest?
