The problem of the “proper” relation of philosophy and science has been the source of many disputes in our intellectual history. Recently some philosophers and scientists have insisted that technical philosophy is neglecting the results of the social sciences to the detriment of philosophy. The purpose of this paper is to consider the attempts made by contemporary philosophers to utilize material from the behavioral sciences (for a few recent examples, see 2, 15, 19, 20, 23, 24, 29, 38, 41, 50), to review certain of the arguments in favor of the utilization of such material, and to consider the criticisms of that approach
