Materialists Attempt of Stealing Philosophy by Claiming its Death

.

Philosophy and science has always been working side by side, and they will always be. Sometimes philosophy precedes science to be followed by science to prove it, and sometimes science precedes philosophy to be followed by philosophy to analyze it and connect it to what we already know.

A scientist is actually two things: a scientist and a philosopher. He first thinks and assumes, then goes to test his assumptions and experiment. The experiment may result into something he didn’t think of, so he starts thinking philosophically about it, and then goes back to science for confirmation. Thus, there is an ongoing dialectic between science and philosophy till they match and conform, and then it become a reasonable scientific fact.

So, we can’t segregate science from philosophy, because they both integrate in the mind. There is no science without a mind, and no philosophy without a mind, therefore no science without philosophy and no philosophy without science.

Materialists may be speaking about the ontological and theoretical fields of study that revolve around man when they say that philosophy has weakened or died. But that doesn’t mean that philosophy itself is weakened, because most of the scientific discourse now is scientific theories. A theory is a theoretical approach towards a certain subject, and theoretical approaches are called philosophy! In other words, philosophy has been removed a little from newspapers and books to get into the field of science. And we are in the age of theories, because the abundance of theories we see now is unprecedented in the past centuries. This means that philosophy has moved into the field of science. Thus, I believe it’s false to separate science from philosophy.

The word philosophy doesn’t only mean exploring the issues of good and bad, morality, society and religion. Philosophy has a wider meaning; it includes interpreting the universe, the beginning of the universe, the emergence of life and many other fields of study that science is concerned with. That is why we have the evolution theory, accelerating universe, multiverse theories, quantum theory and a lot more. Those are nothing but philosophies that aren’t yet scientifically proven conclusively to be called science.

Consequently, people who talked about the death of philosophy have actually stolen it and called instead: science, to delude people into accepting their philosophy as science. The scientific theory is a philosophy but in the fields of matter not humanity, that’s all there is to it.

Science itself is stolen. The materialist philosophy stole it along with philosophy to prove its ideologies. Materialists say that philosophy is dead, while they use it and rely on it but after they cover it with a scientific coat. They do that so that people will not discuss and scrutinize their philosophies …scientific theories". Also, by arguing the death of philosophy, they aim to remove people from thinking, because there is no need to think, i.e. philosophize, when you have science.

The philosophers of nature before Socrates are a good example for philosophy in the realm of matter, like when Democritus thought that everything in the universe is composed of atoms. Socrates had turned the attention of philosophy to problems of man and society, and it stayed that way. And materialists have brought philosophy to study matter again. The materialist philosophy has brought philosophy back to matter to prove its ideas and atheistic view.

Whoever belittles philosophy will necessarily belittle logic. And whoever belittles logic is belittling the mind. And that is what the materialistic philosophy wants, to be accepted without reason, because reason opposes it a lot. Thus, whoever preaches the death of philosophy wants to end thinking and oppress its freedom, arguing that we have science so no need for your efforts. While science is actually stolen and subjected to propaganda.
