The phrase “philosophy done well is science; philosophy done poorly remains philosophy” means that philosophy is not just one subject, but more of a combination of different ideas and understanding numerous positions. There are theories behind science and science is supported with concepts. Some of the concepts that are supported by science are mathematics and physics. If you do not use science to support your claims then people will not know if it is the truth. Philosophy poorly remains philosophy because in philosophy, there are theories from philosophers that are sometimes only supported by written documents that do not always have enough proof and/or evidence. Science is based on evidence like the cerebral mirage has stated. It says that science is predicated not upon what we desire or wish, but rather competing our guesses, hunches, and theories by allowing them to be tested in real world situations against other evidence.
