Philosophy is attacked for its form by religion and its content by philosophy

Evidence

Philosophy, as I shall understand the word, is something intermediate between theology and science. Like theology, it consists of speculations on matters as to which definite knowledge has, so far, been unascertainable; but like science, it appeals to human reason rather than to authority, whether that of tradition or that of revelation. All definite knowledge—so I should contend—belongs to science; all dogma as to what surpasses definite knowledge belongs to theology. But between theology and science there is a No Man’s Land, exposed to attack from both sides; this No Man’s Land is philosophy. — Bertrand Russell, History of Western Philosophy, 40 (#expands, via linked claim)

Between the three moments of absolute spirit – art, religion and philosophy – the difference is not of content but of form, and this has two consequences. First, the spiritual in-formation, the labour in which speculative content gives itself its form, does not have the same nature or the same outcome in all three moments. To this extent, as a second consequence, the relationship enjoyed by spirit or by individual consciousness to these modalities of ‘in-formation’ is no longer uniform, and in its turn is differentiated into figuration, representation, and conceptual thought. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 944 (#expands, via linked claim)
