Question: What answers can philosophy give us that science can't?
Let me give you some context.
The institution of Science has never claimed that it has answers to everything, like the meaning of life, or what is right and wrong, so there's always been a need for something else to try to answer the questions that are outside of the scope of science.
>Science doesn't tell me how I should live my life, and that's where religion comes in.
But slowly over the last 2000 years, many of the questions that puzzled humanity (but which religion claimed to know the answer to) were eventually "answered" by science. The theory of natural selection and the fossil record, for instance, showed us that God did not put us on this planet 6000 years ago, rather, we evolved from other species.
It is for this reason, I believe, that people now consider science as an 'alternative' to religion, even though the premise of science hasn't really change, and no scientist claims it can answer the fundamental questions of life.
So there is still a place for philosophy, for those areas that science doesn't cover, but my question is, with how much success has it answered anything?
