Comments on: What philosophy is centered around the goal of understanding science and the universe? http://www.z-e-n.co.uk/what-philosophy-is-centered-around-the-goal-of-understanding-science-and-the-universe/ For Zen and your balanced discussions Sat, 24 Apr 2010 00:14:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Brenden 59 http://www.z-e-n.co.uk/what-philosophy-is-centered-around-the-goal-of-understanding-science-and-the-universe/comment-page-1/#comment-193 Brenden 59 Wed, 07 Nov 2007 09:15:05 +0000 http://www.z-e-n.co.uk/what-philosophy-is-centered-around-the-goal-of-understanding-science-and-the-universe/#comment-193 Let me have a go at this. To understand science, you would have to go for the specific science itself. To understand the Universe, you would have to go for Astronomy or Cosmology, may be Astrophysics, but if you say the fullness of human experience then all philosophies attempt that, perhaps in different ways. Yes I am assuming the sciences are a form of philosophy with experimental results as criteria for verisimilitude. As to the meaning of life, Art exposes it to you, Religion gives you answers (except Zen Buddhism that does not say that exists), but Science describes fact not meaning. Hope you are confused.
