I wrote post on history of #philosophy and its relationship to current study: http://sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2017/11/philosophical-tradition-and-autonomy.html … One thing I presupposed is that philosophers should have a better explanation of why they do what they do than `it's a living'. I realise now that I have never defended that!
But something one of my coauthors found when reviewing literature for another empirical project of hers is that i) people can't agree how to do better and avoid those problems or ii) if the diagnosis of problems (agreed to exist) given by intersectionality theorists is right one.

So what we were trying to do in paper is suggest a way forward on (i) which, if carried through, would also allow people to empirically test the diagnoses given by intersectionality theorists and thus allow some scientific resolution to debates mentioned in (ii). Hope this helps!
