Only a brainlet needs to mentally structure the world around himself in oversimplifications such as "X is a subset of Y".

Philosophy is dead

>Epistemology is cuck'ed by Mathematical Logic
>Ethics and Metaphysics are cuck'ed by Theology (The study of the worship of mathematical beauty)
>Natural Philosophy is cuck'ed by Mathematics

Science is philosophy.

Science is basically applied empiricism.

>he doesn't know the different meanings of "empiricism" in science and in philosophy

No I don't.

Enlighten me if you will. I can't imagine they are different enough to be of any consequence.

Science uses a philosophical approach to address physical problems.

i.e. The distinction op is trying to make bores me

Enlighten yourself, brainlet. Learn how to use google.

Science uses a scientific approach and not a philosophical approach. If we philosophized about "hurr durr what if reality doesn't real", then we wouldn't have any scientific progress.

So in other words you don't want to contribute the thread.

That's fine, but leave then.

I'm contributing a lot. I'm just not gonna spoonfeed brainlets.

Okay Feynman.

Tautology. Science is the method.

There's an overwhelming amount of retards on this board who honestly think most philosophers subscribe to "u cannot know nuffin"-ism. This fact is supposedly based on that internet comic, or some tree falling in the forest thinf?

Science is not a concrete and well defined subject and doing science is much more than applying philosophy. They are different subjects.

It's like saying doing chemistry is applying physics or doing physics is applying math.
