The purpose of philosophy isn’t to definitively answer questions for all time. It is to ask which questions we should be asking, which of these are answerable (even in principle), and what does it mean to know that the answer is a valid one.

Also, there is no science without philosophy. There is a reason that early scientists were called “natural philosophers” and that even today scientists in every field receive a PhD or “Philosophiae Doctor” — literally, a doctor of philosophy.

Without philosophy, science is just inchoate and incomprehensible information.
