Idk how if studying philosophy helps. Most philosophers were/are themselves committed to one school or theory, with gaps galore.

In any case, I think empirical science's defeat of rationalism ( eg Galileo Vs Church) has all sorry of ramifications. Social sciences like economics and psychology have a lot of trouble bridging the gaps.

Epistemology is a subfield of philosophy. Seems like a healthy understanding of that would be good for society right now.

Most scientists specialize one thing, but students of science don't. One can learn about many schools of philosophy, as well.
