Philosophical Methodology offers plenty of room for discussion, and I anticipate a fruitful discussion with constructive critical remarks, especially from philosophers of science. This is all well. Philosophical Methodology is an outstanding endeavour to grasp the foundations of philosophical inquiry and has the potential to provide an incentive for an intradisciplinary effort to better understand the 'How' of philosophy.
