I loosely define philosophy as a field that is attempting to clarify and define what the questions actually are, that is in addition to providing frameworks and tools for which answers can sit within.

Mathematics and the sciences operate in domains where the questions can be more readily known or written down and the basic tools exist already to attempt to address them. Any further development of new tools typically makes use of existing ones.
