Produktbeschreibung

Essay from the year 2025 in the subject Philosophy - Theoretical (Realisation, Science, Logic, Language), , language: English, abstract: Philosophy has been described by some scholars to be interested in discovering the principles that are valid across times and contexts. That is another way of saying that philosophy, being the quest for knowledge, is interested in all fields of human intellectual inquiry. Some have advocated for the dichotomy between Philosophy and science, insisting that philosophy is only speculative while science is more detailed and certain. The fact remains that philosophy is the mother of all sciences. It seeks for knowledge and knowledge that can stand the test of all doubts. Science being a quest for a branch of knowledge also comes under the purview of Philosophy. Thus, philosophy has many things to offer to scientific inquiries, beginning from clarification of scientific concepts to also examining the rationality of the methods employed by science. It means that science and philosophy enjoy the relationship of cordiality and complementarity, and not that of antagonism. It is in the light of the above that this work aims to critically examine what philosophy is all about and its importance in our world and its role in the world of science. The world of science will also be critically looked into in order to unravel how much it needs philosophy and what philosophy has offered to the sciences. The relationship of science and philosophy will be considered to find out how they are in agreements and/or in conflicts.
