David N. Stamos (born 1957) is a philosopher of science and teaches in the Philosophy Department at York University [1] He studied in York University, where he received his Ph.D. in 1996." [1] He emphasizes a interdisciplinary approach for philosophy: "To answer a question such as, for example, What is human nature?, you cannot read just philosophers. You have to get interdisciplinary: viz., you have to read philosophers, biologists, anthropologists, psychologists, sociologists, historians, feminists, Marxists, theologians, and anything else that is relevant to the topic. You have to take in as much as you can and develop from there what you think is the best answer. Nothing less will do. Hence those (alas, all too many) who have a narrow view of philosophy—e.g., that philosophy is merely conceptual analysis—are not real philosophers to my mind. There is no love of wisdom there, no love of truth, no love of knowledge, just a lamentable attempt at academic territoriality, something one would expect from a political party." [1] His two main mottoes are: "It is not wisdom to ignore evidence" and "Politics does not determine good scholarship."
