=====Key Insights=====
The report explores the interplay between philosophy and science, noting that while there is no clear boundary between the two, philosophical problems are distinct in their lack of a systematic method of solution, their framework nature, and their conceptual focus. It argues that philosophical issues can become scientific ones when properly formulated, as seen in the 20th century's focus on logic and language. The report anticipates a more constructive future for philosophy, akin to the shift from Socratic skepticism to Aristotelian enterprise, and outlines prospects for areas such as the mind-body problem, cognitive science, language, society, ethics, and science. \\
