It is the oldest of all disciplines and gave rise to modern science as we know it today as both social and natural sciences have their roots in philosophy. Modern sciences either directly emerged from philosophy or are very closely related to philosophical questions.

Understanding philosophy and of course, the way problems are addressed żeby philosophers is therefore the key to understanding of science as we know it today.
