Philosophy professors don’t have an interest in trying to understand the the growing knowledge of existence provided by science, but fortunately found a way out, a way to identify their traditional concerns with “science.” The date, of course, was 1913—the publication of Russell and Whitehead’s Principia Mathematica, which showed that logic (Aristotle) as identical to mathematics (science). Problem solved. No need to study/understand physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, even traditional philosophy itself—will do. Hence analytic philosophy was born, and it could flourish within the protected environment of universities where students are selected on the basis of their potential to become clones of their professors.
