If you read the comment thread on the source, you see that it isn’t actually philosophy boo, empiricism yeah, but rather an internecine conflict within academic political science.
Honestly, I did read the source, and it’s very difficult to get anything useful out of it. The closest I could interpret it is “Theory (In what? Political Science?) had become removed from “Other fields” (In political science? Science?)”.
In general, if context is needed to interpret the quote (I.E. It doesn’t stand on it’s own), it’s good to mention that context in the post, rather than just linking to a source and expecting people to follow a comment thread to understand it.
Sorry if this is overly critical, that was not my intention. I just don’t get what the “internecine conflict” you are referring to is.
I’m not really getting anything from this other than “Mainstream philosophy, boo! Empiricism, yeah!”
Is there anything more to this post?
