    No. We only know what science is because of philosophy. If that basis for science became science, then the truth of science would have to presuppose itself, a set of ideas that would be true in and of themselves, which is clearly fallacious.

    Also, the sciences deal with descriptive reality. They say nothing about how the world should be or how we should act.
