Reasons why we might think that philosophy is still more valid than ever

Many scientists have spoken about the contributions that they believe physics has made, for example, to answer a great number of questions that humanity has had throughout its history and that many of us still have.

It is that logically we have to think that with how big is the universe must hide many secrets and unknowns, so it has been very difficult for science to answer questions that so far science has not been able to give answers to all that set of mysteries that lie behind our vast universe.

Science will always endeavour to give convincing answers to these great enigmas, but its efforts have in a way been in vain, since there seem to be many answers to the inexplicable that its bed of study and understanding is within philosophy and not science.

Well-known scientists like Hawking came to confess that they had not found convincing explanations for certain enigmas such as:

How do we come to understand the meaning of the world we are in and the role it plays in our vast universe?

What is the origin of the reality we believe we live in?

What is the most primitive origin of everything around us?

Do I really need a Creator's universe, or was it simply born out of nothing, with everyone knowing that nothing generates nothing?

It is logical to think that there have to be questions that do not have a certain area that has a magic wand to answer everything, it is not a question of saying that science no longer generates answers for these things, but in particular I think that there are enigmas that can be very well addressed is by philosophy.

It is important to understand that until science finds a series of proven answers for this series of questions and others that surround the idea of the existence of our Universe, then everything leads me to think that these should be themes approached from the frontier of philosophy and not from science, of course respecting the position of each one and making it clear that this is a very personal position from my individual philosophy.

Let us not forget that the first principle of the human being and that which differentiates him from any living being is thought, before thought was born philosophy as the mother of all sciences, and before proving any theory of scientific origin first we think and then we act, therefore I believe that the mother of all sciences will remain alive and radiant for many long years more.

I am this kind of person that has never believe that philosophy should be given any form of importance. Well it depends on how people see it as some see it as another way of life.

Although philosophy does not have the capacity to demonstrate certain aspects as if it were science, we cannot deny the fact that philosophy remains the mother of all knowledge.

@carlos84 their are many things which are not solved and still there are mystery regarding the same. Science and philosophy are two different fields but can be correlated to each other at some point

Hello @adityajainxds.

Certainly science and philosophy have been united, however a stronger association would help to give answers to so many mysteries that our vast Universe hides.

Great philosophical explanation, we are humans blessed with the ability to reason and invent and that is what makes us different from other animals, I believe in the idea of creation (spiritually) and not the other way round.

Likewise, we are blessed to possess that capacity for reasoning that sets us apart from any other species. Greetings and thanks for your comment
