I have no reason to contest that. As for unifying different fields of science, I do hope that philosophy of science does a better job of it than some scientists did (e.g. I found E.O. Wilson's "Consilience" terrible in both ambition and execution).

I've managed to stay away from "consilience". But yea, my main point is that it isn't necessarily "the working scientist" that philosophers should be concerned with - until she moves outside her proper field. (Also: fields of science/academia/projects vary significantly with respect to this issue).
