(Thanks to Michael Swanson for the pointer.)
UPDATE: Gary Gutting (Notre Dame) writes:
I've been reading Matthew Crawford's book with great interest, and I think your head suggesting that it's "against philosophy" is quite misleading. His analysis is explicitly philosophical and very appreciative of the discipline as a whole, although-like many other philosophers-he opposes a certain conception of the mind associated with modern thought. Even the review you link to makes clear that the book is a "philosophical inquiry". It's far from saying "Forget about philosophy and make something real."
I found that less clear from the article, so am grateful for Prof. Gutting's clarification.
