RE: The essence of Philosophy

in #philosophy7 years ago

Great post! I believe science and philosophy are in two different spheres, nevertheless they don't exclude each other. While science can make new discoveries in our phenomenological world, it does not (based on its definition) give answers to the proper use of its knowledge and findings. On the other hand, philosophy (and ethics) are allowed to give guidelines on how to apply certain discoveries. Every scientific discovery has to potential to be beneficial for humanity or to harm mankind. One example for this is atomic energy. Although it helped building societies by providing enermous amounts of energy, it has caused pain and death to millions of people.
