Which is the more pure subject, Math or Philosophy?

Physics

'Pure' is an entirely subjective concept that is merely an abstract representation of one's specific feelings towards any given phenomenon. Reality objects nothing as 'pure'. Such is, pardon the pun, purely artificial. /philosophy

I voted mathematics as they're factual where philosophy is/can be subjective.

Philosophy. Math gives us the workings of life and its mechanics, but philosophy gives us the questions of human actions and emotion. If we didn't answer the questions we have on the actions and emotions we exert in our lives, most mathematics wouldn't have ever been made. Math was a result of our questions in life, so wouldn't the question that brought mathematics into existence be more pure? I think yes.

They can both be equally 'pure', and they can both be applied, although maths is usually much more formal. You could really consider pure mathematics to simply be a form of philosophy, and, indeed, there are a lot of philosophy students who also study pure maths.

2 RepliesI don't know for certain, but I would say math, because some parts of math lack any useful application to the real world whatsoever, as far as I know.

1 ReplyMath isn't bullshit.

I voted for Philosophy only because Philosophy was so much fun to use to Mine screw people.. Math just angers people.
-
Math because it doesn't just deal with numbers.

1 ReplyWhat do you mean "pure?"
-
Philosophy is about asking questions, maths is about answering them. I guess answers are purer than questions.
-
Everything is applied maths.

philosophy is a subject one can gain a deep knowledge of merely by their visits to the bathroom
