Nobody has ever mentioned Engels , Marx best friend, as
scientist. However he was the only one who stated that
''each discipline'' ( science) has its own philosophy.
Everyone with an academic degree must know that in
his first semester (aka ''first year'') the so called ''subject
of study'' is learned as ''introduction to...''
In this ''introduction'' are formulated basic assertions of
the science involved and those ''basic assertions'' or
''premise of the discipline involved'' can be seen as
philosophy of this science. The curious thing is that such
''meta theory '' about own subject matter is learned in
the first year when students have no idea about their study.
The ''place'' of the ''meta theory'' should be placed in the
last year of the study when students ''got some idea''
about their study. Who can expect ''critical mind'' or ''critical
attitude '' by students in their first year of study?
