Can philosophy be proved by the scientific method?

I understand that all or many aspects of Philosophy cannot be proved / evidenced or demonstrated to be reliable by the Scientific Method.
Right, please?

"Scientific Method" is the invention of philosophy not of science to start with and many aspects of philosophy cannot be proved/evidenced reliable by the scientific method.

You seem to be making two opposing and conflicting statements here. Which one do you mean?

Maybe it's me, but I cannot make sense of the OP.

To me, the question(s) are like asking "In what way can the discharge of lightning, the distillation of water, and a car's gas mileage all be strummed on a banjo".

Is there some way to clarify what's being asked?

Scientific method : a method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.

Does one mean that it is a process with which we know from the evident/s a non-evident, please? And thus it forms our evidence for that which was still non-evident, please?

Right, please?

It is exactly what the definition says it is.

The scientific method is an empirical method of acquiring knowledge that has characterized the development of science since at least the 17th century. It involves careful observation, applying rigorous skepticism about what is observed, given that cognitive assumptions can distort how one interprets the observation.​

One may like to read post #4 of our friend ChristineM who has observed sense of the OP. Right, please?
Well, how will one like to suggest me that I should revise the OP to make sense for one?

The simple answer is no.

The Scientific Method is not an invention of philosophy. Science actually evolved from empirical problem solving methods to find out 'what works' for human utility purposes and benefits.

Contemporary Scientific Method does involve what is Methodological Naturalism developed in its present form Popper as the process of the 'Falsification' of theories and hypothesis.This 'Philosophy of Science' developed as 'How to think about results and conclusion of empirical scientific methods which are based on more practical considerations of 'What works.';

Please mention the two opposing and or conflicting statements that one understood from the OP, to enable me to revise it, please. Right, please?

"'Philosophy of Science'"

If philosophy did not invent science then, why qualify science with philosophy, please?

Ahhhh...the quizzable wondering of the stuff in one's belly button,
there's no `scientific` question about it, is there ?

oh......there's a raison there!

"definition"
And to which science discipline the definition/s belong, please?

Can philosophy be proved by the scientific method?

Good question. Probably not. I think the idea is that science involves testing nature, and philosophy doesn't.

None,it belongs to language

But it is what makes all science science

Now I don't know French. Please elaborate it in a passage in easy English language as it is my second language, else, in Urdu or Punjabi. Right, please?

Why go into "probability", please? Please express it with certainty. Right, please?

May I suggest something along these lines? That is, if I am at all understanding what you are trying to get at in the OP...

"Are there any truths (and/or facts) that have been arrived at independently by both philosophical methods of investigation and scientific methods of investigation? That is, have there been cases in which the methods have been consilient?"​

In my opinion, that might be about the best you can do, though I myself am not satisfied the question is a good one, even with my 'rephrasing' of it.

If you would prefer a less precise, but much simpler, question, then perhaps...

"Has a philosopher and a scientist ever arrived at the same conclusion about something while each was using the respective methods of their science or discipline?"​

I apologize for not being able to come up with anything better that those two questions.

One makes me to use GoogleTranslate, continuously. Wikipedia takes me to the Napoleon period "impossible is not French" . Was Napoleon then talking about science or philosophy, please?

Philosophy is the dreaming of possibilities
Science is the proving of them
