The methods of inquiry of history, science and philosophy are similar.

If we have to speak in favour, we can say that the method of inquiry of history, science and philosophy are similar. All these three branches of knowledge look upon the facts and on their basis draw their conclusions. The type of facts are not the same. History is interested in the lives of old kings and queens. Philosophy depends upon thought and religion while the science is concerned with the facts of nature.

If we have to speak against, we can say that methods of inquiry of history, science and philosophy are poles apart. History enquires into the life of society. It particularly concerns itself with important events like some great war, some great inspire, some well known crisis etc. For this purpose a historian reads old books, A philosopher learns about the working of mind and soul. He does not bother about the facts but the mind that creates those facts. A scientist’s quality is not to take anything for granted. He raises new questions and tries to find their answers by experiments.
