Philosophy founded science, at least in the Greek tradition that is foundational to Western norms (and thus to Global science as we know it) though the two often pursue quite alternate ends. We needed the metacognitive thinking that Socratic philosophy provided before we could begin asking the bigger analytical questions of how the universe functioned, though philosophy can more easily push out beyond the concepts that science can immediately grapple with (questions of the self, the "soul," thought, higher beings, good and evil as concepts)
Conceivably all of these are things that *could* be scientifically measured, but only with methods of information retrieval vastly more complex than we possess
