Philiosophers aren't aware but Science itself and math curb-stomped most of the bullshit from philosophy and for the good.

Lovecraft captured well that feeling with Cosmic Horror. But, you know, in the 20's, 30's, 40's, scifi writters evolved. Outdated, romantic foes (specially the French and German romanticism) keep bitching over and over about the pure and 'simple' past, as if the universe had a meaning per se. And they are utterly lost. Forever.

Archimedes and Euclides won over Aristotle. Guess why. Math itself it's the Logos.
