> there is no way to refute or evaluate philosophy.

That is not true at all. Much philosophy throughout history has been shown to be incorrect by later science, for example.

Exactly; I can't see how someone can say you can't refute philosophy, as though it's not based on argumentation and premises that lead to a conclusion. When you demonstrate that a premise is wrong (e.g. philosophically, mathematically, empirically, etc.) then the philosophy (or rather, that argument for the philosophy) is 'refuted'.
