Boru
The solutions got called 'science.'
ps makes a good point here
technically speaking everything is just a philosophy of something
people who studied at university should know this
everything you study is a philosophy
e.g. if you study physics you actually study the philosophy of physics
if you study history it is the philosophy of history, etc., etc.
but i like going around in circles so will stick with taking the piss out of how the op and the title of this thread personifies philosophy
i would hate to actually contribute to this thread as if it was a real or even possible hypothetical question
it isn't
