Question

Who said "The function of science is to describe and that of philosophy is to explain. Therefore, philosophy is called the science of science".

A.

M.N. Roy

B.

Vivekanand

C.

Rabindranath Tagore

D.

M.K. Gandhi

Correct option is A

M.N. Roy, a prominent Indian philosopher and revolutionary, articulated the idea that "The function of science is to describe and that of philosophy is to explain. Therefore, philosophy is called the science of sciences." Roy emphasized the complementary nature of science and philosophy, where science focuses on the empirical description of natural phenomena, and philosophy seeks to interpret and explain these descriptions in a broader, more conceptual context. This perspective highlights the foundational role of philosophy in integrating and understanding scientific knowledge within the larger framework of human thought and inquiry.
