As the title of this OP says: What can't you philosophize about? Is there something so mundane that there simply no application for philosophy? Perhaps you can't philosophize about eating porridge. — Purple Pond
So: isnt all things involving thinking philosophy then? If that is so, why are you specifying science? — DingoJones

Every scientist is using philosophy for establishing empirical data. The scientific method IS philosophy. — NKBJ
I also don’t put a lot of stock into “traditional” philosophy, if we are using that term the same way — DingoJones
But Philosophy in the narrow sense is directly about the assumptions of ordinary life and enquiry. It isn't using them as a basis for empirical work, but examining them directly. — PossibleAaran
Fun fact, the "division" between philosophers and scientists is a historically relatively new development. Back in ye olden days, they were considered one and the same thing. That's literally why it's called a PhD! — NKBJ
Ah, and how do you distinguish those two things? — NKBJ
There isn't any deep reason why. — PossibleAaran
It's just what's left over when you start with the whole range of enquiry and take away anything which has branched into a new discipline with its own identity. — PossibleAaran
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
