SCIENCE VS PHILOSOPHY

2. DEFINITIONS
SCIENCE - originates from a Latin word
‘Scientia’ which means knowledge. Thus, it
is defined as a systematized body of
knowledge composed of hypotheses,
theories, principles, models, and laws that
have been drawn conclusively from
observations, verifiable facts, and
experimental findings obtained primarily
through the application of the scientific
method.

3. DEFINITIONS
PHILOSOPHY - is derived from the Greek
words "Philosophia," which means "love"
and "wisdom," respectively. Thus, it was
defined as the study of the nature and
meaning of the universe and human life, as
it requires rational exploration and inquiry
into human existence, phenomena,
knowledge, ethics, and so on.

5. RATIONALISM VS NATURALISM
According to rationalism, philosophical beliefs are formed
and justified independently of sensory observation,
whereas they are present in science. Whereas, Naturalism,
states that science should be used to investigate
traditionally philosophical questions

6. CORRELATIONS
Science and philosophy have always learned
from each other. Philosophy provides fresh
strength and generalizations, while the
sciences impact the world-view and
methodological pulses of its universal
principles.

7. Complementary to its role in conceptual clarification,
philosophy can contribute to the critique of scientific
assumptions—and can even be proactive in formulating
novel, testable, and predictive theories that help set new
paths for empirical research.

8. CORRELATIONS
Philosophy and science share the tools of
logic, conceptual analysis, and rigorous
argumentation. Yet philosophers can
operate these tools with degrees of
thoroughness, freedom, and theoretical
abstraction that practicing researchers
often cannot afford in their daily activities.

9. Philosophy helps us to achieve a deeper understanding of
the social significance and general prospects of scientific
discoveries and their technical applications. The
impressive achievements of the scientific and
technological revolution, the contradictions and social
consequences it has evoked, raise profound philosophical
problems.
