There’s nothing as self confident as L.P. now, Having adopted naturalist, many philosophers are finding plenty of problems with it. There’s a lot of interest in Kripkean theory, but it’s not really a movement,
Mainstream philosophy hasn’t affected how science Iis done. Neither has LessWrongian philosophy. Both are aimed at clarifying and promoting the scientific approach. In neither case is it clear why affecting science iwould be a necessary or expected upshot. LessWrongians seem to think that clarifying and promoting science is important enough in itself. You can only fail at what you are trying to do, or what you can reasonably be expected to do.

Also do the current developments matter? Would any of the hard sciences do things differently? Did the change affect the soft sciences?
