ON THE PHILOSPHIC FOUNDATION OF SCIENCE

Abstract

This paper comes as an attempt to restate the place of Philosophy in the evolution of human development and history. It represents the bid to address seeming, subtle and vocal moves to denigrate Philosophy amidst the reckoned progress of science and technology and more worrisome, deny it of an age long title- Mother of all Sciences. The paper reechoes, by tracing the origin of Science, the fundamental role of the mother Philosophy by being and begetting Science as its ancient offspring. It equally articulates the time and circumstances that informed the independence of the basic disciplines of Science from Philosophy. The paper‘s synopsis is the position that all the fields of science have their remote foundation in Philosophy.
