Modern philosophy of science is corrupt, as the founder of the British
Journal for the Philosophy of Science (itself, predictably, the same way
as
all the other mainstream philosophy of science journals), Herbert Dingle,
would if he was alive today, tell you. I blush to admit that in my book
(Ashgate, 1997) I had a chapter on the philosophy of mathematics; but my
blushes are down to the fact that, as I suspect you'll not be surprised to
hear, it was replete with errors.
