What is the best path to find truth; science, math, art, philosophy, or something else?

What kind of truth? Truth about the physical world? Then, science. Truth about the human condition? Then art, especially literature. Truth about how all the little "truths" fit together into a big picture? Then, philosophy.

I meant like as a whole what is one thing that can be used. But the breaking apart was cool too.

This science which we see is actually capitalist based, not on the self realization of person.
Art again is dominated by the societal expectation.
Real art is to express emotions, carnal desire.
I think, when one expresses his or her desires, that's the path which one must follow. WE are taught to suppress our feelings.

I think most use science or if they don't trust it then only what they can apply their 5 senses to then they see it as true and real. For me personally it is religion.

Well, to know truth, one must conquer senses. This is where the ancient people became expert, they conquered all their senses, yet lived their life to the fullest. |

I take Science over the Bible, the Bible means nothing to me. |

Of course, Science ! But the problem is that not all sciences or scientific methods are accurate, but for me this is the main method of study the world for me! I would especially like to mention Psychology in this list!  |

My choice is inductive reasoning. This requires studying science and history. I also depend on the Old Testament which is the only philosophy based on inductive reasoning.
