Reddit reviews The Metaphysics Within Physics

I once read (and I've been annoyed several times by not being able to remember where I read this and who said it) that the most annoying thing in philosophy was anyone who attempted to do pre-Kantian metaphysics after Kant. I like that a lot, and to that extent, I think everyone had better be at least a little bit Kantian.

I think empiricism is a dreadfully mixed bag. As an arch-Darwinian, I have a hard time believing we have access to much anything beyond empirical data, but at the same time, I'm less than satisfied with Humean, Millian, or van Fraassenian accounts of what it is that we might know about the world given that restriction. I do like Tim Maudlin's views on that front, though I haven't worked through the issues in a detailed-enough way to really have clear thoughts on the subject.
