Tell me Veeky Forums. How can you get excited about physics and math without having, at least at some level, respect for philosophy. In other words: How can you respect, or rather, find the beauty of science without having respect for philosophy.

You can't. Philosophy and science go hand in hand and mathematical philosophy is the most interesting philosophy there is.

Only similarity between math and philosophy is logic, and even that is slightly different between the fields.
In math we prove complex propositional/predicative stuff, whereas in philosophy it's retarded babby-level stuff like "All men are mortal. Socrates is mortal. Therefore Socrates is a man".

I think you misunderstood me. I meant how can you be awed at the implications of, for example said complex proofs, without using philosophical thinking.
