Science first began as a branch of philosophy, but it has since grown up & moved out of the family home, & its successes have put its parent in the shade. Thanks to scientific knowledge we have walked on the Moon, cured once-fatal illnesses, & even identified the very building blocks of life & the universe. But it is these very successes that underline the need for philosophy. How much should we trust the pronouncements of scientists that we read in the media?
