Aristotle discovered logic and science. Philosophy causes science. Good philoso-
phy cause good science. Bad philosophy causes bad science. Very bad philosophy
cause science to end. Consider Kantian subjectivism as cause of pseudo human or
behavioral or social sciences, with all their bizarre, unproven views. Physical
science is applied Aristotle's classical realism (including rational system). 
This is very abstract but most claims that science stands alone are less ab-
stract and so cannot judge basics of philosophy, science, and their relation.

    Pragmatism and empiricism have almost destroyed science.
