Some dont get discarded More of Nietzache needs to get discarded IMO, although he is an example of one who tried to incorporate more of biology into his philosophy. Science tends not to be wrong, rather just not accurate enough. Newton's theory of gravity was not wrong, it just is not as accurate as General Relativity, which will at some point be superceded by something a bit more accurate that ties up more loose ends. But philosophies tend to be based on fundamental premises which turn out to be nonsense. Of course, that may well change in the future, when mental processes start being well defined by science, rather than philosophy. From then on, it will be a matter of accuracy, not tossing the old out each time something new is discovered. But with mental processes, morality, ethics, etc, we just are not to that point yet. Hence, mostly nonsense, pleasing though the nonsense be at times...
