This text explores the problematic relationship between philosophy and science, specifically focusing on the question of whether philosophy can be classified as a scientific discipline. The author highlights frequent misunderstandings stemming from differing terminology and unresolved issues of competence between philosophers and scientists. The central thesis argues that no specialized science possesses the competence to define the nature of scientificity itself, as no discipline is equipped to make itself a legitimate subject of its own investigation within its specialized framework. When a scientist attempts to address these foundational questions outside their specific field, it often results in amateurish or flawed conclusions. Philosophy is presented as an essential tool for reflection, enabling a critical examination of the very foundations and assumptions of scientific thinking. The document emphasizes that scientific work consists not just of practical activity but, more importantly, of the quality of thought and the capacity for reflection. Only through this deeper self-reflection can the legitimacy of scientific claims be properly assessed, a task that inherently transcends the boundaries of individual specialized sciences.
