Science and Philosophy might not be exactly the same thing, but there is a lot of overlap, and a lot of people who do both.

An overwhelming portion of what is hard science now was probably in the domain of philosophy once.

You don't even have to go very far back to hit a time when scientists were called "natural philosophers".

And "philosopher" is just Ancient Greek for "lover of wisdom".
