name me one time in the last 50 years where one scientist has said "the answer came to me from philosophy!!!"?

You both fail to recognize that the genesis of your entire line of inquiry is philosophical in nature.

I'm not OP, but you employ a strawman. Philosophy is, indeed, not answering any scientific questions. What it can do (and I need you to follow me vary carefully here so you won't bombard us with another strawman) is inform methodology and structure of the scientific process.

I am a mathematician who works in theor physics and the most I hear about philosophy is from people who have no connection to science whatsoever.

Philosophy? Why not just theoretical physics?

Math is an outgrowth of philosophical logic.

>> No.10353243

>>10353234
Maths is much older than the first Greek philosopher, not to mention the logic of Aristotle.

philosophers equate philosophy to thinking, which ironically makes their field completely useless either way

Have you read any article of Bohr, Einstein, schrodinger, Heisenberg ... About quantum mechanics?
It's literally just philosophy and it was philosophy that helped creating quantum mechanics

I consider philosophy closer to politics and law than to science as it can be useful for producing social policies but isn't measurable.

Ethics is the bedrock of science

Just because it was once considered a branch of philosophy it doesn't mean it depends on it anymore

OP is right. Science is a branch in philosophy. So is math and physics. Many of the well known philosophers were also scientists and physicists and mathematicians

>> No.10354688

Without science they would not be able to actually philosophising properly.

What's wrong with a field being useless? I don't understand the irony here

>> No.10355595

No one cares. Philosophy is extinct as a field, and only pseudointellectuals reading material written over fifty years ago remain in it. Science has made it obsolete.
