Looks like he tried to put in a time stamp of 62m47s

 

Thanks.

 

Mr. Tyson's words are puzzling. First of all because he acknowledges that science is in fact a branch of philosophy. Secondly because he doesn't bother to define what philosophy means. Which is really important if you think a phrase like "religious philosophy," which he says, makes any sense.

 

Philosophy is method to test the truth value of an objective claim. I cannot imagine a set of circumstances that would make it valueless to humankind.

How do you test truth values about the physical world or maths with philosophy?
