Yes. A great majority of famous philosophers were very much involved as scientists, mathmeticians or logicians. Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras, Galileo, Descartes...more modern examples may be Einstein and Dennett...the list goes on and on! Almost any philosopher is also a 'scientist' to some extent. Actually, modern science came out of the study of what used to be 'natural philosophy'. There is a necessary bandying between philosophy and the sciences that bind the two to one another, so separating them reflects a misunderstanding of the fields and their interconnectedness.
More simply speaking, when one has a theory, it makes sense to gather scientific support to further explicate the theory, right?
