Very interesting article about the role -- and the limits -- of science, as a tool for philosophical understanding.

Also ran across some interesting bits in there about science itself -- such as how it turns out biological processes play fast and loose with DNA in ways that make our perception of it (that it's the determinant of identity, etc.) rather silly.

Thanks for sharing this!
