Summary

This quote suggests that philosophers have not stayed abreast of advancements in contemporary science, especially in the field of physics. It implies that philosophers may not be engaging with or incorporating scientific discoveries and theories into their philosophical inquiries and frameworks. This criticism may stem from a belief that philosophical thinking should evolve and adapt with the current understanding and knowledge provided by scientific advancements. However, it is important to note that this statement is a subjective opinion and not a universally applicable assertion regarding all philosophers and their engagement with science.

On page 607, alluding to the end of my first marriage (and carefully remembering to state that that's none of his business), he very sweetly says that I 'might leave a wife, but not a friend.' Nice try. Neat smear. But he shouldn't be so sure....

Night was spreading slowly around the spinning Earth. It should have been full of pinpricks of light. It was not. There were five billion people down there. What was going to happen soon would make barbarism look like a picnic - hot, nasty, and eventually given over to the ants.

Perhaps, after all, our best thoughts come when we are alone.
