2.What is meant by the phrase, "philosophy done well is science; philosophy done poorly remains philosophy."
The phrase "philosophy done well is science; philosophy done poorly remains philosophy." means that philosophy is not solely just one subject, rather than a combination of different ideas and understandings in various aspects. Because there are theory and hypothesis behind the science and the science is supported with concepts such as physics or mathematics. you must use science to back up your claims. Whether it be biology, chemistry, math, philosophy and so on. One must use a form of science to back up the claims of what they say. If you don't use science to support your claims then who knows if you are telling the truth? No one will know, they will all just believe it. In the book The Oceanic Metaphor, if the properties of consciousness can indeed be shown to be precisely determined in rigid cause-and-effect fashion by the physical state of the associated material, then conscious phenomena clearly belong to the subject matter of basic science. The unusual properties of consciousness which make it seem so different from quantities which we think we understand better do not disqualify it for inclusion. Therefore, a well-done philosophy is science with cause-and-effect.
