Philosophy and science?

Answer:

philosphy can be categorized as a science because both the main objective of philosophy and the sciences is to make discovery of things. although the sciences make use of the laboratory to prove their discoveries,philosophy makes use of the mind to prove the existence of things. this my reasoning please tell us more

They can be categorized together, but science is based on factual evidence, and philosophy is based on mental/mind proofs made without material evidence.
