Philosophy Now Forum

There's a category titled Philosophy of Science. Nice category and then I switched it around in my mind to Science of Philosophy and asked myself is there any science to philosophy? Maybe/maybe not. But why stop there? Often science and art have been explored with each other and in contradiction against each other. This leads to how one should handle philosophy: as an art or as a science or maybe both?

What do you know and what do you favor here? What's the best approach?

Philosophy of science is a branch of philosophy concerned with the foundations, methods, and implications of science. The central questions concern what counts as science, the reliability of scientific theories, and the purpose of science.

Neither.

Philosophy is the foundation that creates both. Without philosophy art would've been a mess of uninterpretable lines, curves, colours, sounds etc.

Science is defined by philosophy.

While there has been talk of a Science of Philosophy, that's used to mean something else than what you think. The "Science of Philosophy" simply means "knowledge that has a philosophical nature, is made by philosophy"... such as ethics, aesthetics and so forth. "Science" originally means "knowledge".
