Every physicist alive uses both Heisenberg's Matrices and
Schrodinger's Wave; none use Positivism or any other school of
philosophy because no philosophical franchise is of the slightest
help in doing what scientists want to do, figure out how the world
works.
But some can be obstructions, as was positivism. Positivists denied
the existence of atoms and probably delayed development of
decoherence theory by 50yrs.
Indeed. Actually the first positivist even discount the use of the
microscope and telescope!
Platonists obstructed the development of empirical science by
discounting evidence of the senses.
There is an atom of truth, here, and ... well, nothing is perfect.
We can also say that, similarly, Aristotelism will dismiss the
mathematical reality, and the psychological reality, and drive us to
that materialism which simply does not work anymore, both socially and
fundamentally.
