Therefore, the philosophy is not a completely authomatic, synthetic, separate field of science and does not have its own specific system of research instruments. However, the role of philosophy in the development of other fields of science is very large, especially in the development of science in antiquity and in certain other periods, the ages of the development of human civilization.
"That, indeed, wisdom, therefore, is a science conversant about certain causes and first principles is obvious." --Aristotle (The Metaphysics of Aristotle, Book I., Chapter I.)
Martin Klvana Thank you for your answer. In your opinion, what is the key criterion for distinguishing a science from a non-science. Many times, philosophy is only speculation.
to speculate: L. speculāt-, ppl. stem of speculārī to spy out, watch, examine, observe.
Dear Joseph Tham,
According to one of the basic definitions, the essence of philosophy is systematic and critical considerations on basic problems and ideas, striving to understand their essence, as well as to a comprehensive understanding of the world. Philosophy understood as science, sets itself the task of real knowledge of a given subject. Contemporary detailed scientific disciplines derive from such understood philosophy.
Therefore, the philosophy is not a completely authomatic, synthetic, separate field of science and does not have its own specific system of research instruments. However, the role of philosophy in the development of other fields of science is very large, especially in the development of science in antiquity and in certain other periods, the ages of the development of human civilization.
Philosophy is often used in those fields of science in which, in the context of a particular level of technology and technology, scientific research has the potential for an instrumental, systemic, formalized research process to end. in the past, when people tried to describe natural phenomena, cosmic phenomena, etc., which were impossible to study with the use of scientific research instruments, then philosophy was often used as a substitute for a kind of instrumentation for the purposeful extension of research capabilities.
Best wishes
Philosophy is a method of discussion. New hypotheses will be found for further approvement through exact sciences, then again discussed . philosophy being inclined into this process is itself a part of science
I like the vision from Thomas Kuhn, where philosophy are part of scientific development. Kuhn said that philosophy help in crisis moving away old beliefs and assembling the new paradigm.
A second view was the ethical approach in many areas like biology and medicine.
Yes, philosophy is into scientific discipline as "philosophy relates to reality knowledge and reasoning". Scientific is more into adventures, exploring and developing new objects.
Philosophy is the foundation upon which a scientific field proper is built. Any science ,without a philosophy behind it, lacks rigor and prestige. Therefore, philosophy is not a scientific discipline, but it is an invigorating force behind it.
