> A few centuries ago, philosophy was a knowledge.
It's still the love of knowledge to this day.
> Now that sciences and technology rule the knowledge field, philosophy's enthusiasts just claim that philosophy helps learning to think and widens one's spirit.
Science ( aka natural philosophy ), is just a small part of what we call knowledge.
> If that were true, I think philosophy would be a mandatory study to anyone interested in advanced scientific theories,
Science is a part of philosophy. When you get a PhD in physics for example, you get a doctorate in philosophy. It's just philosophy confined to the study of the natural world guided by empiricism. Certainly most scientists have studied some philosophy.
> Even so, most arts can claim the same: "grasp new ideas" and "open to fields of knowledge". In my case, I could say that for literature.
We can say philosophy is an art form centered around reason. Using the broader definition of art, everything is an art.
- mistermann 2y agoI'd say this exchange is excellent evidence of how ideological "science" (as it is, in all its manifestations in human minds) is, and the poor faith[1] based thinking style it teaches. The internet is overflowing with this sort of content, but it is impossible to see for most (both believers and non-believers), similar to how the delusions of religious people are invisible to those who share the same beliefs and cognitive methodologies, axioms, etc. It is funny that this is the way it is, especially considering it is 2024. [1] Belief without adequate proof, evidence, heuristics perceived as logic, belief perceived as knowledge, etc.
