Science - experimentation and observation - and philosophy - inquiry into reality - are both ways to employ the principle of maximum relative entropy: > The principle of maximum entropy states that, subject to precisely stated prior data (such as a proposition that expresses testable information), the probability distribution which best represents the current state of knowledge is the one with largest entropy. I think philosophy will only be obsolete when it stops choosing which aspects of reality people use science to investigate. At least, this is the rosy belief I have that hopefully approximates what actually occurs in science. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_maximum_entropy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_maximum_entropy
