Who proclaimed separation of science from philosophy?
Upvote:2
That would be Bacon and later Newton with rejectin of FINAL CAUSES , the very lifeblood of philosophy
a final cause is that for the sake of which a thing is changing. A seed's end is an adult plant. A sailboat's purpose is sailing. A ball at the top of a ramp will finally come to rest at the bottom....So Evolution just says E. does what it does , there is no real end or finality to what a man does or in accord with his essence/nature
Francis Bacon described the use of final causes within science as being irrelevant to scientific inquiry - they have "given men the occasion to stay upon these satisfactory and specious causes, to the great arrest aand prejudice of further discovery".
Reductionism is often the result of this reducing everything to the material and mathematically tractable. A GREAT and short example can be found in De Koninck's "The Lifeless World of Biology" http://www.isnature.org/Files/DeKoninck_Lifeless_Biology.PDF
