Postmodernist's would disagree with you heavily that the two domains intersect.
Philosophy goal is uncover truth where science is restricted mostly to the realm of facts and empirical truths.
An example would be the question of the meaning of life, science has little ability to answer this question other that to claim it doesn't actually exist or it's just a complex expression of atoms working together where with philosophy there are countless ways to answer this age old question.
- gloriousduke 7y agoThis may sound absurd, but you actually need some (mostly settled) philosophy to determine what “facts and empirical truths” are.
- shard972 7y agoYes i agree and that is probably what my original point should have been. There is a common thread ive seen among alot of people today where everything is understood through a truth lens of science based materialism as it is inherently assumed in western culture that the source of all truth is science. It's a topic that could be debated for years but I think a lot of the issues around fake news are heavily influenced by this cultural bias and the inability for people to reason about events conveyed to them by unreliable facts.
