A lot of people who I have spoken with in philosophy courses treat science as if it is completely separate from philosophy. Some scientists, like  when he was still alive, seem to agree with this view of the two being completely separate. However, after reading some text, I discovered that English philosopher, Sir Francis Bacon, established the scientific method and argued that " science could be achieved by use of a skeptical and methodical approach whereby scientists aim to avoid misleading themselves." Also, science is seen as part of the Enlightenment philosophical movement according to Stanford:     Scientific method became a revolutionary force of the Enlightenment. -Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy   Even empiricism, a form of philosophy created by Francis Bacon, is essentially . To me, this would make science a branch or part of philosophy. Is this assumption correct, and if so, why do so many people see science and philosophy as completely separate? Was there any philosophical movement or thought reform that led to the separation of the two, or does science continue to be part of philosophy and the idea of them being completely separate is simply a misinterpretation?
In the past, both Philosophy and Science were one. However, because of the vastness of Science, it was cut off. I am inclined to go along the same line of thinking, but, is there a way to merge both disciplines once again?
The other day I was looking at Stack Overflow on my Android phone. All is made very nice and all, but I could not find the Review button/link. Is it being implemented, did I miss it, or it is not available? Start ubuntu without a desktop environment but start an X application I want to do a small computer just for internet browsing. I dont want to load a desktop environment to keep RAM, CPU and GPU ussage as low as possible. The computer is going to run on a ARM CPU. I dont care with Distro I use, I thought about good old plain Debian. Crossthread operation not valid... - VB.NET I have an image that is Base64 encoded. What is the best way to decode that in Java? Hopefully using only the libraries included with Sun Java 6. Does a log transform always bring a distribution closer to normal? I have a highly right skewed data set with a large range of values (from 1 ~ 10^6) (can't share the actual data for work related reasons).   When I plot the log of the data instead, the distribution looks a lot more like a normal distribution.   Have I stumbled on a meaningful insight in the data set, or is just a general property of the log transform that it brings the distribution closer to normal? I want to set up a diary that compiles in two different orders: One is work by day, the other is work by project according to tags I give to the particular chunks of work I did each day.   For example, I write my diary as usual in work by day form:  2/2/15  -- bought a new screwdriver (tag: car maintainence)   -- scetched my plan for world domination (tag: world domination)  3/4/15  -- started studying physics (tag: world domination)  -- finished tax declaraction (tag: burocracy)   Compiling by project would yield tags as sections:  car maintainence    -- 2/2/15: bought a new screwdriver  world domination  -- 2/2/15: scetched my plan for world domination  -- 3/4/15: started studying physics  burocracy  -- 3/4/15: finished tax declaraction   I know this is pretty close to the literal programming paradigm the whole LaTex documentation follows: A code chunks in a document can be compiled to two different orders: For human understanding and for use by the machine. However, I want two human readable versions --say pdf-files-- as output. Is there some package that helps? Can I clear an area of my prison for everyone BUT max security prisoners? How can I make sure that only low and medium security inmates are in a specific area? Is it possible to reverse the overlay you can set? It seems like you are only able to clear areas for low OR medium security prisoners, but sharing is not possible. The thing I want here is to make sure that max security prisoners are not in certain areas. How can I compute the integral $\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{dt}{1+t^4}$? I have to compute this integral $$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{dt}{1+t^4}$$ to solve a problem in a homework. I have tried in many ways, but I'm stuck. A search in the web reveals me that it can be do it by methods of complex analysis. But I have not taken this course yet. Thanks for any help. Caption above subtables with subcaption package breaks numbering of following table I'm trying to identify a song by a female 80's pop group.   Here are the lyrics I remember:     It's the story of my life if you want to know   a play where everything is meant to be   you're the story of my life and I can't let you go Momentum is defined by the product of mass and velocity. Now a projectile out of a gun has to have high velocity to penetrate a human body, as its mass isn't significant. But to reach this velocity, due to inertia/the law of energy conservation, momentum on both sides is to be equal. As there is strong negative acceleration in the opposite direction of the bullet, it should result in a strong force in the opposite direction of the bullet ($F = m*a $).  Therefore I wonder why shooting a bullet with a handgun is not ripping your hand apart. How do I distinguish between a command, utility, or builtin for getting documentation? I've got the following question:  $A = \{\sqrt{n} - \left\lfloor\sqrt{n}\right\rfloor : n \in \mathbb{N}\}$  Find inf A, sup A    inf A is no big deal, but I have a hard time proving sup A is 1  I've tried to prove that: $\sqrt{n^2 - 1} -\left\lfloor\sqrt{n^2-1}\right\rfloor &gt; \sqrt{n} -\left\lfloor\sqrt{n}\right\rfloor $  but couldn't find a way to do that About number truncation of ticks display in ListPlot Animation Blending Basics Say I have a framework with characters that can run and walk and of course, stand still.  Am I right in thinking that animation blending is the process of smoothly transitioning between these by generating dynamic animations at runtime?  If so, what is the basic theory of how this works, and how would I implement it? Emission of EM radiation from an electron I have read about an electron making a transition between two energy levels and electromagnatic radiation will be emitted. The problem is how and why e.m radiation is emitted. Prove $R < ( 1 + (\sum |a_{i}|^{p} )^{q/p})^{1/q}$ for absolute value of polynomial zeros Quite simply (and similarly to my other questions about previous versions of this feat  and ) I want to know if this feat is balanced and if not then what should be done to improve it? Since the last iteration I have changed the wording as per David Coffron's answer, increased the time and monetary cost as well as added in the action requirement to activate the rune as per Ruse's answer and increased the costs as per linksassin's answer     Rune Caster      Prerequisites: ability to cast at least one spell of 1st level or higher      When you take this feat you can imbue your spells of 1st level or higher into a rune by casting the spell as a rune, this means that you must have the object you want to put the rune on within reach for the entire duration of the casting as well as any tools required to make the rune.      When casting a rune you add the time listed in the cost time table to the casting time and the cost listed in the cost time table to the components of the spell in accordance with the stored spell.      \begin{array}{|l|l|l|} \hline \text{Spell level} &amp; \text{Time (hrs)} &amp; \text{Cost (GP)}\\ \hline 1 &amp; 1 &amp; 50 \\ \hline 2 &amp; 2 &amp; 100\\ \hline 3 &amp; 4 &amp; 500\\ \hline 4 &amp; 6 &amp; 1,000\\ \hline 5 &amp; 8 &amp; 5,000\\ \hline 6 &amp; 12 &amp; 10,000\\ \hline 7 &amp; 16 &amp; 50,000\\ \hline 8 &amp; 18 &amp; 100,000\\ \hline 9 &amp; 24 &amp; 500,000\\ \hline \end{array}      When making a rune you choose a trigger which is touch and/or command word and can be specified to only a group of people/creatures or a body part. When defining creatures that can activate the rune you may be as specific or general as you want. The DM interprets the designated creatures as your character would have interpreted them when you made the rune.      When you store a spell in a rune some of the ranges are altered, a range of touch becomes a range of self, a range and target keeps the same range and the person who activates the rune designates the target and range with an aoe sets the origin to the center of the rune, lastly a range of self stays the same.      When a rune is activated the spell is released acting as if it had just been cast without requiring any components or concentration. The rune then disappears leaving no trace of its presence. To activate a rune you must complete the trigger, this means speaking any command words and physically touching the rune each if applicable, this requires the activator to use the object interaction action while within reach for touch runes and while within 60 ft for command words. If both triggers are used then they must both be fulfilled within the same turn. Find and extract a number from a string Where are the Unity desktop wallpapers located?
