This is wrong. It is also a terrible misunderstanding of philosophy. It is completely possible to approach a problem from a "useful" perspective and a philosophical perspective simultaneously and many people do this. I had professors with a Phd in both Philosophy and in Physics because each academic discipline deals with similar problems independently.

Philosophy does not deal with testing empirical theories. No there has not been encroachment by linguistics, sociology, psychology, or economics.

I'm sorry you wasted so much time typing this comment, I've read it three times now and I cant find a single thing you got right.
