Science vs. Philosophy

The relationship between philosophy and science has always been an ugly one. This two differ in process of finding reality.

Philosophy always tends to come up with a conclusion without doing experimentations. They rely on theories they make and they just look for believers. They do not seek for truth instead they just want people to believe them to say that their conclusion is true.

Science on the other hand conducts experiments first before arriving at a conclusion. They do not state something is true unless they prove it through experiments. The only problem with science is they sometimes tend to go beyond reality. They just do experiments even though it is quite impossible to have a realistic answer.

Philosophy and science may have differences between each other but these two go together. Philosophy may somehow have greater power than science because it cannot escape philosophy. An article said that if science tries to escape from philosophy, it will just be a slave of it. Philosophy is inevitable; a person should always have a philosophy in life even though he/she does not intend to have one.

Philosophy Is Not a Science

By JULIAN FRIEDLAND

      Firstly, the article is too long when in the end the author will just say Philosophy is not a Science. Too much information was put in and most of the time my mind went to other places while reading. Yes, it did help prove that Philosophy is not a Science though I did not understand some parts of it.

     I just got curious while reading the article, why do we still need to battle between Philosophy and Science when in the end we all get confused. These are just two different fields, deal with it !
