IS PHILOSOPHY SIMPLY HARDER THAN SCIENCE?

Is there a real relationship between philosophy and science? Is one better than the other? In this article, David Papineau, among other things, suggests that not only does philosophy "get results," but science often fails to realize that at the heart of its various enterprises rest deep and intractable philosophical problems. Everybody makes assumptions about the world. One discipline makes it a point to expose, examine, and evaluate those (often hidden) assumptions - Philosophy. If one is expecting philosophical results to look like scientific results, then one is making several unqualified assumptions about the world and about the nature of philosophy and science themselves that need examining.
