Philosophy is more “philo Sophia”: the love of Sophia (wiseness). It is just the love of the search of the ultimate truth, or of the first principle. The beginning of philosophy and theology *is* the beginning of science, and it basically ended in +500 after about 1000 years of Platonic academism, leading to the dark age, where we still belong. Enlightenment has only been half-Enlightenment, and theology, which was just the fundamental science per definition, has not yet come back to the academy. The doubt about the nature of the physical universe is not yet open to free thinking… The separation between science and theology/philosophy/metaphysics does not only make the human science inexact and the exact sciences inhuman, it makes the human science inhuman and the exact science inexact.
