Science and religion may not be friends, but at least they're not as lonely as philosophy, which seems to have been forgotten entirely by article writers such as this one.
- philwelch 16y agoThat only underlines the importance[1] of philosophy IMO. They say those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it. You can say the same about philosophy. One should learn at least enough philosophy to avoid accidentally doing it poorly.

It's not important in the sense that it impacts your ability to live your life and do useful things.
