Question:

Differentiate philosophy from empirical sciences.?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Fundamentally they're the same thing, just utilzed in different environments. Everything is subjective, therefore what we call "facts" are really nothing more than theories that have been consensually agreed on (or what we call "proven") yet no less subjective than the day they were conceived philosophically in the imagination. Or is the physical world of the senses more trustworthy than your own belief? I believe the concensus you will find amongst most famous scientists is that all discovery begins with philosophical belief...purely subjective...and ends with an empirical discovery...yet still purely subjective. Philosophy is the science of testing theories of ideas to the point that they are worthy of a consensual, meaningful action. Science is really the same thing, just done with different tools and in a different way.
