You see I don't see that ... I think science is a rigorous version of trial & error and doesn't need philosophy because it already is one i.e. IMO the only true philosophy is science itself ('spose you could argue ad nauseum which came first) and that';s why they refer to the highest scientific qualification (outside of honorary ones like "Professor") as "Doctors of Philosophy". I think philosophy bolted itself on to science after and I genuinely consider most of it to be little more than mental masturbation.
Kyu
Ftw once again.
Science is not related to philosophy in any practical sense, it is simply the application of logic, reason and evidence to a situation to separate truth from untruth; in fact i would say that, when done properly, science comes before philosophy and conducting philosophical thought without a foundation of verified truth is like blowing your load before you get her pants off!
