Summary

This quote highlights the interconnectedness of philosophy and science. It suggests that philosophy, while valuable in its ability to interpret and analyze knowledge, lacks substance if it is not grounded in scientific findings. Science, as a systematic study of the natural world, provides the foundation for factual discoveries and objective truths. Philosophy, then, can use these scientific discoveries as a platform to explore their implications, significance, and broader meanings. Only when philosophy is informed by science can it effectively analyze and interpret the knowledge we acquire through scientific investigation.
