Answer:
Philosophy is often related to science because they are both trying to find answers about life and the universe and used logical reasoning as a tool in their quest for answers.
Science is often based on fact, while philosophy is often based off of people's beliefs or ways of thinking.
My understanding is that philosophers try to answer questions solely by logic and reasoning from first principles. There is no attempt to establish the truth of first principles other than they seem self-evident to the particular philosopher that adopts them and do not lead to any logical contradictions.
Scientists attempt to verify the truth of their first principles by experimentation and empirical evidence.
