What is science? we asked and based on the questions of philosophers. Since the first philosophers, observing life and expressing it in a general sense has wrestled wisely under the name of philosophy. Over time, the questions were diversified and different areas of expertise were created. Only the name of philosophy now covered all the questions. Scientists, who started to separate as nature philosophers, also became philosophers over time. Alongside the philosophy, which is an effort to ask and reach the general population together with the Near Age, scientific fields came to the agenda. Today, it is thought that science and philosophy are not related, scientists are working from philosophy which is the basic discipline.
What separates ancient Greek civilizations from the others, which contained the first philosophers and scientists, was the systematic transmission of culture. Mesopotamian and Asian civilizations also had disciplines of wisdom and thinking. A work that was solely a follower, accumulating and built in pieces of the system appeared with Greek. In fact, science or philosophy stemmed from the same questions. People wanted to understand life and tell. Thales, considered the first philosopher, thought the universe was the cause. Socrates wondered how life should live, how Platong real knowledge is achieved, and how Aristotle lives. It is interesting that these questions, which are considered as the predecessors of science, constitute the problems of both philosophy and science today.
Philosophy and science are the sides of a curiosity struggle in the forefront of philosophy. Both disciplines tend to ask questions and question the facts. However, there is a relationship that is overlooked in contemporary times. While science is a branch of the philosophical body, scientists do not make philosophy today. When asking questions about science, it is overlooked that the root samples of scientific questions are in philosophy. As such, scientific studies have meant giving life a product rather than giving a general view of life. It is no longer curiosity but science with gain. This is co-ordinated with departure from philosophy. We speak of a science that has evolved from philosophy, that is, to a question-response system that is focused on profit from wonderment.
It has been possible for scientists to pass on philosophy to turn profit without wondering science. Scientists have forgotten that science came from philosophy. Systematic thinking is inherited by philosophers who ask general questions of life. However, today's scientists are so obsessed that science sells products, which means that science is not about curiosity, but about innovation. We do not understand life anymore, we do science to produce salable products. Even if it is not on the roof of a company, we use it for trade.
The search for life in the outer space where trillions of dollars have been spent is also a sign of this. Actually, there's no need to find life outside. Enough to destroy this world with the products of science. It seems that consumer society wants something new. It is no longer a curiosity, but the foundation of our society to supply innovation. Instead of recognizing life, scientists are in the process of producing new things that the community can buy. This necessitates ignoring the wisdom and philosophy of development. We are now focused on buying activity instead of questioning and asking questions. This shows that the caret can come not from science, but from philosophy, its predecessor. Science can only give us the things we can buy nowadays. We need to look at philosophy for questions.
