Hypothetically, we can question the scientific background behind everything we know, suggesting that even common knowledge can be up to interpretation. This creates the divide between the humanities and science, where the former is based on open ended musings and the latter calls for definite findings, so it’s not often that we readily accept the intersection between science and philosophy. Occam’s razor, however, combines the two and exists as field of thought today not because it contests an area of science or provides insight into a particular field, but because it defines a method of thinking that is applicable to all approaches in any scientific discipline.
