If we are going to have a debate, it helps if everyone is on the same page
Saying that Philosophy is a science is a HUGE mistake.
That implies that there are absolute answers that are correct without variation.
Philosophy can and should NEVER be so rigid.
If you want to talk about Virtue Signaling, and the "Useful Idiots" pushing a particular set of ideas in the most underhanded means possible that is fine. We all just need to be on the same page when it comes to terms
A long time ago, science and Philiosy divided from the one path of intellectualism
You made an assertion that Ethics is a science. I challenged that assertion. If you want to debate ethics, that's absolutely fine
But calling it a science, implying that there is a rigid scientific law that can govern it, is not the way to go about that argument.
Prior to the Age of Enlightment, Science and Philospy were one and the same, but over time Science became the laws of nature, and philisoy became the thoughts of nature
That's a far better explanation.
thas a method
Empirical is a good word to keep in mind.
...
According to a philiosphy class I am not guilty of the charges of Humanity.
~~Philosophy does not show up anywhere on that wikipedia page.~~
lol
wait
I really need to switch my main browser...
Again a principle started before the Age of Reason
read the first paragraph
Historically, "philosophy" encompassed any body of knowledge.[14] From the time of Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle to the 19th century, "natural philosophy" encompassed astronomy, medicine, and physics.[15]
Again after the age of reason, this changed
The first paragraph does not label it a science
That is the first line in the second paragraph
Philosophical methods include questioning, critical discussion, rational argument, and systematic presentation.[7][8] Classic philosophical questions include: Is it possible to know anything and to prove it?[9][10][11] What is most real? Philosophers also pose more practical and concrete questions such as: Is there a best way to live? Is it better to be just or unjust (if one can get away with it)?[12] Do humans have free will?[13]
In the modern era, some investigations that were traditionally part of philosophy became separate academic disciplines, including psychology, sociology, linguistics, and economics.
if yo dont think those are the bases of science you failed
in philosophy and school
Again, it use to be that way
Are you giving me definitions that your phiosophy professor gave?
nope
so not even your philosophy teacher called it a science.
Right under the breakdown
This division is not obsolete but has changed. Natural philosophy has split into the various natural sciences, especially astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, and cosmology. Moral philosophy has birthed the social sciences, but still includes value theory (including aesthetics, ethics, political philosophy, etc.). Metaphysical philosophy has birthed formal sciences such as logic, mathematics and philosophy of science, but still includes epistemology, cosmology and others.
