Science is a wholly contained subset of philosophy. There is some philosophy that is not science.
Eli Gonzalez
If it doesn't conduct empirical research, then it's not a science.
Of course, there are applied philosophers who do empirical research. But usually the moment they start looking at data they just create a new field. For example, ethicists are philosophers, moral pyschologists are scientists.
Cameron Stewart
No.
Nolan Martin
No it's not. Foundations of a subject aren't the subject itself that's just pure autism. Philosophy of science is an academic discipline which has lies in the intersection of both philisophy and science. Science may implicitely some epistenology when investigating whatever, but the geneneral idea is to investugate questions related to what qe can observe in nature using whatever tools we find out. A really giod philosopher will get his ass handed out even in basic research because there's a lot of skills and idead that surround the field that aren't really concerned with philosophical inquiry. The same way it's dumb that a scientists just talks out of his own ass and claims he "knows" the rules and nature of our universe and that everything is just QM so why have religion etc etc.
