On science and philosophy...

From p.96 of "Critical and Speculative Philosophy", in J. H. Muirhead (ed.) (1924) Contemporary British Philosophy: Personal Statements, (London: G. Allen and Unwin) pp. 77-100.
"We are all familiar with the nonsense which eminent philosophers have talked about scientific questions; it is only equalled by the nonsense which eminent scientists continually talk about philosophical questions."
