the more research i do, the more it seems like philosophy and art are the right-brain counterparts to science and craft. i haven't convinced myself this theory is concrete. starting in the beginning when i was trying to find relationships or the "core" of the four, i put them in context with human action. all human action is controlled by the brain...the human brain in split in two parts, the left and right. different areas of the brain control different actions, reactions, emotions, thought process etc. science and craft fit well within the left-brain function and art fits well with the right brain. although, philosophy seems to require both but more right than left. i did find a website with some listings of both side functions which listed philosophy specifically under right brain function but other lists i've seen did not do the same so i am at a hault at this moment.
some sites i visited:

This is a good, an intriguing, thought. If the association can be made between philosophy and art and the right brain and craft and science and the left brain, are we meritted in considering philosophy art craft science as BRAIN FUNCTIONS?
Do they 'exist only in the mind"?
