Philosophy may be blind without science, but science can lack vision without philosophy.

About This Quote

As the saying goes, philosophy is blind without science. Science can be blind without philosophy. But without both, we would not know what we are looking at and how to make sense of it. It is difficult to understand the world without having a framework for understanding it based on knowledge about the world. Philosophy guides us in our thinking and makes it possible for us to see and understand the world around us and the way we live in this world.
