    Philosophy is often more like looking for things that can’t be seen with a flashlight but hypothesizing that they must exist and proving it logically.

      Philosophy is determining that there is, probably, a cat in the room. And science is using a flashlight to find it.

        But sometimes philosophy is also like not knowing that flashlights exist and looking for a cat in the dark, sadly.
