Is Philosophy a Science‑ Understanding the Distinction

Philosophy and science address knowledge differently. Philosophy relies on rational analysis of concepts, logic, and foundational questions about existence, knowledge, and morality. Science employs empirical methods, experimentation, and observation to study the natural world. Though distinct, philosophy underpins scientific reasoning, clarifies concepts, and evaluates assumptions, making it complementary rather than equivalent to science.
