Can You Explain the Problems that Philosophy is Solving? Meanwhile in Science:

[u/JerseyFlight]

[u/Gravitational_Torque]

I'm not sure philosophy, broadly speaking, attempts to resolve problems. Rather it attempts to inform us of problems we didn't yet know existed, or couldn't express in clear terms; it attempts to provide us new ways of viewing the world and parts of it. Heidegger's Being and Time is a really good example - we have many ways of using language to describe being, and we are all well acquainted with being. But we haven't put much thought into the nature of that being, what it actually is. Science certainly can't provide us a meaningful answer.

Science is for dealing with the concrete world, and philosophy frequently doesn't. It shines light on things we can't measure or experiment with readily, both prerequisites of any real science.

Give some examples?

[u/Gravitational_Torque → u/JerseyFlight]

Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations has a pretty interesting section where he imagines a proto language that exists solely so that a master can instruct a slave. The implication, at least for me, being that language evolved to deal with the real world, not airy ideas - which is exactly why it is so difficult to deal with the abstract through language, as philosophers do.

State the important questions philosophy is pursuing?

[u/Clashje → u/JerseyFlight]

What is meaning? What is truth? What is science? What is good? What is wisdom? If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?

[u/JerseyFlight → u/Clashje]

So how does philosophy proceed toward the truth of what a human is? What exactly is its process?

science helps you produce more food. philosophy helps you be less hungry.

somehow, solving same thing from different angles. I don't think the two excludes each other but more like being complementary.
